On his return to the office today, John Grainger suggested some minor amendments to the 30 August version of the draft White Paper. The amendments are set out below and we re incorporated

into the text which we telegraphed to Hong Kong today:

(a) Para 4,

second sentence.

In the sentence in brackets we

inserted the words "up to" after "or" and before "31 December 1997" ;

(b) Para 5, second sentence. Ditto;

(c)

Para 6 second sentence.

2

(d)

Para 5, first sentence. "retain";

(e)

Para 22 second sentence.

,

Ditto;

We replaced the word "acquire" with

Ditto.

I am sure you will agree that these are helpful

helpful suggestions which reflect the wording of the UK Memorandum.
