NIE SAID HE WAS GRATEFUL FOR OUR QUICK RESPONSE TO HIS
PROPOSAL. IN PRINCIPLE OUR AMENDMENTS SEEMED TO PRESENT NO PROB-
LEM. BUT HIS DEPARTMENT WOULD NNED TIME TO STUDY THE TEXT
CAREFULLY. HE ALSO THOUGHT THE PURELY LINGUISTIC ADJUSTMENTS
WOULD PRESENT NO PROBLEM, SIMILARLY THE OMISSION OF QUOTE
ACCORDING TO USUAL PRACTICE UNQUOTE FROM SECTION 111.3.
3.
NIE ALSO SAID THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO DIFFICULTY OVER THE ORAL POINTS (HONG KONG TELNO 724 TO YOU PARAGRAPH 3 AND TELNO
750 TO YOU PARAGRAPH 1). ODDLY HE DISPUTED AT FIRST THE NEED FOR FULL LISTS OF OFFICE STAFF TO BE SUBMITTED TWICE ANNUALLY, AND SAID THAT IT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO NOTIFY PA OF THEIR ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE. I STRESSED THAT IT WAS NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT OUR RECORDS WERE ACCURATE IF WE WERE TO EXTEND PRIVILEGES AND EXCEMPTIONS BY ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION TO STAFF MEMBERS. APPEARED TO TAKE THE POINT.
