HONG KONG BECOMING A SEPARATE CONTRACTING PARTY TO THE GATT.
WE ALSO AGREE WITH DAME ANNE WARBURTON'S ARGUMENTS (PARAGRAPHS 6 AND 7 OF TLUR) FOR EARLIER RATHER THAN LATER ACTION ON THIS SUBJECT.
3. ON A MINOR POINT, WE NOTE THAT THE DRAFT PRC DECLARATION (PARA- GRAPH 2(C) OF GALSWORTHY'S SECOND TELELTTER OF 22 APRIL TO
