FOLLOWING PERSONAL FOR GOVERNOR FROM HUM, HKD

YOUR TELNO 1328: VISIT BY EXCO UNOFFICIALS

1.

DAVID WILSON AND I AGREE THAT THERE WOULD BE MUCH MERIT IN A VISIT BY EXCO UNOFFICIALS IN SEPTEMBER. I AM SUBMITTING ACCORDINGLY. IT IS HOWEVER ALREADY CLEAR FROM DIARIES THAT NEITHER THE PRIME MINISTER NOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE WILL BE AVAILABLE ON 11 SEPTEMBER. THE SECRETARY OF STATE AND MR RENTON ARE FREE ON 10 SEPTEMBER: THE PRIME MINISTER'S MOVEMENTS ARE STILL UNCERTAIN BUT WE ARE ENQUIRING. PRESUMABLY THAT DATE WOULD

NOT CAUSE YOU ANY DIFFICULTIES.

2.

I SHALL LET YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARRIVE IN LONDON WHAT

PROGRESS WE HAVE MADE.
