AND PERHAPS ALSO WITH SPECIAL BRANCH AND OTHER SIMILAR
ORGANISATIONS.
6. WHERE HONG KONG'S PRESENT IS CONCERNED, THE FOLLOWING TOPICS
INTEREST ME:
(A) STRUCTURE AND PRACTICE OF GOVERNMENT.
(B) LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND LOCAL DEMOCRACY.(IF POSSIBLE I SHOULD
LIKE TO ATTEND A MEETING OF THE URBAN COUNCIL OR A DISTRICT
BOARD).
(C) INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING AND NEW TOWNS (I SHOULD
WELCOME A VISIT TO A NEW TOWN PERHAPS SHATIN, WHICH I
REMEMBER AS A SLEEPY LITTLE PLACE).
(D) HOUSING. (IF NOT COVERED IN NEW TOWN VISIT).
(E) VIETNAMESE REFUGEES. (WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR ME TO VISIT
BOTH AN OPEN AND A CLOSED CAMP?).
(F) INDUSTRIAL PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
(G) ECONOMY AND FINANCE
(H) IMMIGRATION
THIS WILL BE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO FILL THE TIME AT MY DISPOSAL.
7. IF IT COULD BE ARRANGED, I SHOULD BE PARTICULARLY INTERESTED
IN A VISIT TO SHENZHEN (PROVIDED THAT PEKING SEE NO OBJECTION).
PERHAPS THIS COULD BE A DAY TRIP FROM HONG KONG. ALTERNATIVELY
I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GO THERE ON 13 FEBRUARY, TRAVELLING STRAIGHT
ON TO CANTON TO SPEND THE NIGHT BEFORE CATCHING A PLANE TO
PEKING.
8. WHERE PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED, COULD YOU KINDLY LET LEONARD
BOYES KNOW THAT I SHALL BE IN TOWN? LAST SUMMER I MET PETER TSAO
IN PARIS, AND HE SUGGESTED THAT WE MIGHT GET
TOGETHER IF I VISITED HONG KONG. APART FROM THAT, I AM
ENTIRELY IN YOUR HANDS.
9.
I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN.
