1. CONGRESSMAN SOLARZ (CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS

COMMITTEE, ASIAN AND PACIFIC AFFAIRS SUB-COMMITTEE, DEMOCRAT) WILL BE VISITING HONG KONG BRIEFLY BETWEEN THE CHINESE AND

TAIWANESE LEGS OF AN EXTENSIVE ASIAN TOUR DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST.

HIS OFFICE HAVE INFORMED US THAT HE WILL BE IN HONG KONG FROM

AROUND NOON ON TUESDAY 16 AUGUST UNTIL EARLY MORNING ON 17 AUGUST.

THE US CONSUL GENERAL HAS BEEN ASKED TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE GOVERNOR IN THE AFTERNOON OF 16 AUGUST, AND MAY ALREADY HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH YOU. (WE UNDERSTAND THAT MR SOLARZ HAS TENTATIVE PLANS AT THIS STAGE FOR A MEETING WITH JOURNALISTS AND QUOTE OPINION FORMERS UNQUOTE THAT EVENING.)

2. WE THINK IT WOULD BE USEFUL FOR THE GOVERNOR TO SEE CONGRESSMAN SOLARZ IF HIS COMMITMENTS ENABLE HIM TO DO SO. ALTHOUGH IT WAS AGREED THAT THE ARRANGEMENTS SHOULD BE MADE BETWEEN YOUR OFFICE AND THE CONSULATE GENERAL, WE WOULD BE GLAD TO BE ABLE TO CONFIRM TO SOLARZ'S OFFICE WHAT ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE. SOLARZ WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY MRS SOLARZ AND TWO STAFFERS, RICHARD BUSH AND STANLEY ROTH
