1. LIKE HONG KONG, WE HAVE NO STRONG FEELINGS EITHER WAY,

ALTHOUGH DEVELOPMENTS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS COULD HAVE

A BEARING. A CALL ON LIAC WOULD PROBABLY DO NO HARM AND MIGHT

CONCEIVABLY HELP A LITTLE IN THE EDUCATIVE PROCESS.

2. WE THEREFORE HAVE NO OBJECTION TO A CALL. IF POSSIBLE WE

SHOULD LIKE NEARER THE TIME TO SUGGEST POINTS WHICH HAMMOND

MIGHT USEFULLY MAKE.
