1. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TELELETTER OF 24 JULY, ADDRESSED TO DICK

CLIFT (WHO HAS NOW LEFT THE DEPARTMENT).

OF HONG KONG AND ITS FUTURE. IT WOULD I THINK ALSO BE OF

CONSIDERABLE INTEREST TO HONG KONG AND PEKING. DESPITE THE

PERSONAL MARKING, I HAVE THEREFORE TAKEN THE LIBERTY OF HAVING IT

REPEATED TO RICHARD MARGOLIS, THE ACTING POLITICAL ADVISER IN

HONG KONG, AND PETER THOMSON IN PEKING.
