WING HANG BANK BUILDING

3. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF YOU COULD NOW TELEGRAPH A COMPLETE LIST OF THOSE INVITED BY THE CHINESE. WE ARE STILL NOT CLEAR ABOUT THE POSITION OF E.G. DR. H.C. HO, WHO HAS BEEN INVITED BUT WAS NOT ON EITHER OF THE TWO CHINESE LISTS (PARA 2 OF HONG KONG TELNO 1397 TO

YOU).

4. WE ASSUME THAT YOU WILL BE DISCUSSING DETAILS OF THE CEREMONY AT A LATER STAGE. WE CONTINUE TO REGARD IT AS ESSENTIAL THAT SIR S.Y. CHUNG, MR. LOBO, AND THE OTHER UNOFFICIALS SHOULD BE GIVEN A POSITION APPROPRIATE TO THEIR RANK (PARA 2 OF FCO TELNO 1334 TO

YOU).
