FUTURE OF HONG KONG: CALL ON THE SECRETARY OF STATE BY VICE PRESIDENT BUSH OF THE UNITED STATES: 10.00 ON WEDNESDAY 9 FEBRUARY 1983

1.

I attach some brief Points to Make and a short background note on the Future of Hong Kong for use by the Secretary of State should the subject arise during Mr Bush's call or any other occasion during Mr Bush's visit. It is not necessary for the Secretary of State to raise the subject, unless he wishes; but the topic may arise naturally in the context of any discussion about China.
