2. THE CHEF DE CABINET TO THE GOVERNOR OF MACAU CALLED ON THE POLITICAL ADVISER ON 9 MARCH 1983 TO RE-ASSURE US OF THE DESIRE OF THE MACAU AUTHORITIES TO CO-OPERATE AND AVOID EMBARRASSMENT TO THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT. HIS EXPLANATION OF THE RECENT CASE WAS NOT ENTIRELY CONVINCING BUT I THINK THEY HAVE TAKEN THE POINT THAT WE WILL NOT PUT UP WITH THIS SORT OF THING WITHOUT MAKING A FUSS.

3. I DOUBT WHETHER WE NEED TAKE THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT ANY FURTHER. WE HAVE PUT THEM CLEARLY ON NOTICE AND WE SHALL WATCH THEIR BEHAVIOUR VERY CLOSELY.
