12. THESE CHANGES ARE SET OUT IN THE DEPUTY CHIEF SECRETARY'S CIRCULAR NO. 3/86, DATED 8 OCTOBER 1986.
LINE TO TAK.
13. IF ASKED WHY THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT HAS DECIDED TO TAKE THIS DECISION AT THIS TIME, YOU SHOULD SAY THAT THE TITLE UNOFFICIAL CAN BE MISLEADING TO THOSE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE HONG KONG SYSTEM. WHEN IT IS USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE TITLE OFFICIAL IT SUGGESTS AN INVIDIOUS DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TWO TYPES OF MEMBERS. AS ALL MEMBERS, WHO SERVE ON THE COUNCILS AND THEIR RELATED BOARDS AND COMMITTEES DO SO IN A COMMON CAUSE IT IS FELT THAT A SINGLE TITLE SHOULD BE USED TO RELFECT THIS FACT.
