FOR HUM, HKD AND FOR GOVERNOR
HONG KONG TELNOS 1627 AND 1632 AND YOUR TELNO 1000 TO HONG KONG: EXCHANGES WITH THE CHINESE ON THE STRUCTURE OF GOVERNMENT
1. TOO SEE ATTRACTIONS IN THE GOVERNOR'S SUGGESTION THAT HE MIGHT VISHT PEKING IN EARLY SEPTEMBER. FAVOUR THE IDEA OF A VISHT BEING PRESENTED TO THE CHINESE AS BEING PRIMARILY A VISIT TO SEE ME. HF THAT WERE DONE, BELIEVE THAT THERE WOULD BE NO DIFFICULTY ABOUT ARRANGING FOR THE GOVERNOR TO CALL ON SENIOR PEOPLE IN THE HONG KONG AND MACAO OFFICE OF THE STATE COUNCIL AND THE MFA.
AND, WITH THE RIGHT PREPARATHON, I THINK IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE
TO ARRANGE AS WELL FOR A CALL ON WU XUEQ:JAN.
2. THIS YEAR'S DIPLOMATIC TOUR IS TO TAKE PLACE DURING THE FIRST
HALF OF SEPTEMBER. SEPARATE PARTIES WILL GO FROM PEKING TO GANSU (LANZHOU AND DUNHUANG) FOR FIVE DAYS ON 2 SEPTEMBER AND 9 SEPTEMBER. SUBJECT TO THE STATE OF OUR PREPARATIONS FOR THE STATE VISIT, HOPE TO TAKE PART. BUT COULD EASILY BID TO GO WITH THE PARTY WHICH
LEAVES ON 9 SEPTEMBER.
3. MY WIFE AND WOULD BE DELIGHTED IF THE GOVERNOR COULD STAY WITH US DURING HIS TIME IN PEKING (HONG KONG TELNO 110 TO PEKING).
4. AM ABOUT TO WRITE TO THE GOVERNOR ABOUT HIS PLANS TO VISIT PEKING IN EARLY DECEMBER IN CONNECTION WITH THE OPENING OF THE TRADE DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL OFFICE HERE (HIS LETTER TO ME OF 8 MAY). #1 SHOULD WELCOME A VISIT AT THAT TIME TOO.
