1.
(UK/PRC Air Service Talks) New round of
of talks with Chinese

agreement which
will provide a fair deal for Hong Kong interests. But not
wise to say more in anticipation of talks.

matters in Hong Kong are primarily the responsibility of the
Hong Kong Government and the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department.
3.
(Unscrambling ASAS) A process that will need to be completed before 1997. But 12 years till then.
