Thank you for your letter of 13 August' with the copies

of the two 'Zheng Ming' articles.

Attached to 160)

I understand the intense interest in Hong Kong in my

visit to China. I am grateful to you for your views on the

type of announcement which you hope could be made after my

talks and for your advice on the benefit of a senior Hong Kong

Government representative accompanying me in Peking. The

Governor will in fact join me there. I would however be

grateful if you could treat this as in confidence for the

moment, as it has not yet been made public.

I appreciate the good wishes for my trip and I too look

forward to our meeting in China next month.
