MY TELNO 2900: PRIME MINISTER'S VISIT:
HONG KONG ATTENDANCE AT SIGNATURE CEREMONY
1. RECOMMEND THAT SHOULD BE INSTRUCTED TO GO BACK TO ZHOU NAN
WITH OUR ADDITIONS TO, AND SUBTRACTIONS FROM, THE LIST IN MY TELEGRAM NO 2901 VERY SOON, AND PREFERABLY TOMORROW. TIME IS NOW RUQNING RATHER SHORT: ANDCHT WOULD BE GOOD TACTICS TO REACT TO
THE FIRST LIST BEFORE THE CHINESE PRODUCE THEIR SECOND LIST.
2. AM NOT HOPEFUL OF OUR BEING ABLE TO GET THE CHINESE TO AGREE THAT MEMBERS OF UMELCO SHOULD BE INVITED AND/OR DESIGNATED IN
THEIR OFFICIAL CAPACITIES. AM SURE, HOWEVER, THAT WE SHOULD
PRESS THE CHINESE TO AGREE THAT THE SENIOR UNOFFICIAL MEMBERS OF
EXCO AND LEGCO SHOULD APPEAR IN THE FRONT RANK OF THE OBSERVERS
AT THE CEREMONY.
