* Drafting committee member Dorothy Liu

Yiu-chu: The Basic Law will have to accommodate the contradictions arising from the "one country, two systems" arrangement.

UC member Denny Huang: The drafting committee membership is repre- sentative.

CIC director Lau Chin-

shek: The Basic Law drafting committee

comprises very few young people and does not include grassroots and pressure group repre- sentatives. This shows that China attached more importance to economic interests than to the well-being of the lower class.

HK Affairs Society vice-chairman Man

Sai-cheong: The drafting committee membership list is acceptable.
