YOUR TELNO 1517 AND LISBON TELNO 183 FUTURE OF HONG KONG MACAO.
1.
WE AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR YOU TO SPEAK
PERSONALLY TO THE GOVERNOR OF MACAO AND TO BRIEF HIM FAIRLY FULLY
ON THE BACKGROUND TO OUR POSITION ON THE LINES PROPOSED. AS YOU
SUGGEST, YOU SHOULD EMPHASISE THAT THIS IS STRICTLY FOR HIS
PERSONAL INFORMATION AND GOES FURTHER THAN WE ARE USING ON OUR
NORMAL BRIEFING OF OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
2. PLEASE REPEAT TO LISBON FOR THE PERSONAL INFORMATION OF HMA
YOUR REPORT OF WHAT YOU TELL THE GOVERNOR OF MACAO. BUT WE SHOULD
BE GARATEFUL IF THE AMBASSADOR WOULD ALLOW THE INFORMATION TO
REACH THE PORTUGUESE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES THROUGH
THEIR OWN CHANNELS RATHER THAN BRIEFING THEM DIRECT. WE HAVE
NOT TAKEN ANY DECISION ON FULLER BRIEFING OF OUR EUROPEAN
COLLEAGUES AND IT WOULD BE EASIER IF WE DID NOT MOVE AHEAD
MORE QUICKLY WITH THE PORTUGUESE THAN WITH THE OTHERS.
