YOUR TELNO 2469: PRIME MINISTER'S VISIT TO HONG KONG: PROGRAMME
ON 21 DECEMBER.
1. WE ARE AWARE THAT THE PRIME MINISTER'S DEPARTURE TIME WILL
BE 1000. BUT WE CONSIDER THAT THE PRESS CONFERENCE, ASSUMING IT
LASTS 45 MINUTES, WOULD BETTER START AT 0845. THIS WILL THEN ALLOW
THE PRIME MINISTER TO PROCEED DIRECT TO THE AIRPORT, ARRIVING THERE
AT 0950. IF THE PRESS CONFERENCE STARTS AT 0830 AND FINISHES AT
0915, THE PRIME MINISTER WOULD EITHER HAVE TO RETURN TO GOVERNMENT HOUSE BEFORE GOING TO THE AIRPORT, OR SPEND AN ADDITIONAL 10 OR 15 MINUTES AT THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT OFFICES OR AT THE AIRPORT.
2. WE PROPOSE THAT THE PROGRAMME FOR 21 DECEMBER SHOULD BE:
(A) 0700
(B) 0810
APPOINTMENT WITH HAIRDRESSER.
PRE-PRESS CONFERENCE MEETING.
(C) 0845 PRESS CONFERENCE.
(D) 0935
DEPART FOR AIRPORT.
(E) 0950 ARRIVE AT AIRPORT.
(F) 1000 DEPART FOR WASHINGTON.
3. WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL TO LEARN WHETHER THE SECRETARY OF STATE
AND LADY HOWE WISH TO SEE THE PRIME MINISTER OFF AT THE AIRPORT.
