MY TELNO 1797: MINISTERIAL APPOINTMENTS.

1. WHATEVER DECISION IS TAKEN ABOUT A MINISTERIAL VISIT TO CHINA (YOUR TELNO 775 TO PEKING) I SINCERELY HOPE THAT THE PROPOSAL FOR A MINISTERIAL VISIT AT THE TIME OF THE OPENING OF THE NEW LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL (ON OCTOBER 30) WILL BE MAINTAINED. ANY SUGGESTION THAT THIS PART OF THE MINISTERIAL PROGRAMME WILL FALL BY THE WAYSIDE WOULD IMMEDIATELY BE INTERPRETED AS A REDUCTION OF INTEREST IN HONG KONG MATTERS.
