NO DISTRIBUTION REPETITION ONLY

YOUR TELNO 77: TECHNICAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT

1. INFORMATION ON THE COAL GASIFICATION PROJECT IS SCANTY, EVEN IN SHENZHEN. I WAS TOLD BY THE SHENZHEN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION THAT

THE PROJECT WAS CURRENTLY BEING STUDIED BY THE SHENZHEN MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT AND THE MINISTRY OF COAL BUT THE CORPORATION SAID THAT THEY HAD NO FURTHER DETAILS. THE CORPORATION SAID THAT THEY WOULD

BE HAPPY TO PASS ON INFORMATION FROM UK COMPANIES.

2. A BRITISH CONTRACTOR WHO HAS EXPRESSED INTEREST IN THE PROJECT

IS BABCOCK WOODALL DUCKHAM WHO ARE PART OF THE SCHRODER/BRITISH

GAS GROUP FROM WHOM YOU HAVE ALREADY HEARD. I AM ADVISING THE

GROUP TO MAKE AN EARLY VISIT TO SHENZHEN.

3. ON CONSULTANCY, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT BRITISH GAS MIGHT BE

INTERESTED IN THE PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY. IF NOT, THIS MIGHT BE A

SUITABLE PROJECT FOR CHANNELLING THROUGH THE BRITISH CONSULTING

ENGINEERS (CHINA) GROUP IN HONG KONG.

Mein Wucher.
