YOUR TELNO 803. WE HAVE ALREADY INFORMED HOLIDAY INN MAYFAIR OF THE NAMES OF THE DELEGATION.

2.

WE KNOW HOW TO CONTACT SIR S Y, BUT PLEASE ADVISE WHAT THE LONDON CONTACT ADDRESSES AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS ARE FOR MISS DUNN, MR Q W LEE, MR O V CHEUNG, MR ERIC HO AND MR DONALD LIAO.

3.

YOUR TELNO 805. AS EXPLAINED ON THE PHONE, THERE IS ONLY ONE SECRETARY IN LONDON OFFICE WHO HAS THE APPROPRIATE SECURITY CLEARANCE TO SERVE THE DELEGATION. FOR THE REASONS EXPLAINED TO C OF C. I CANNOT RELEASE HER. ACCORDINGLY THE DELEGATION SHOULD BRING A SECRETARY FROM HK, AS DID OUR JLG IV TEAM RECENTLY.

5.

I UNDERSTAND THAT FCO WILL PROVIDE OFFICES FOR THE DELEGATION TO USE, BUT PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CONFERENCE FACILITIES AT LONDON OFFICE OR THE HOTEL.

b.

THANK YOU FOR CONFIRMING THE LUNCH WITH THE HONG KONG ASSOCIATION ON WED, 10 SEPT.

7.

NOW THAT IT HAS BEEN DECIDED TO HOST A RECEPTION AT HKGO ON 10 SEPT, I WILL PUT TOGETHER A GUESTLIST FOR CONSIDERATION EARLY NEXT WEEK. THERE IS INSUFFICIENT TIME FOR PRINTING SPECIAL INVITATIONS AND SO I SHALL USE MY CARDS STATING THAT THE OCCASION IS FOR GUESTS TO MEET H.E. THE GOVERNOR AND MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL. I TAKE IT THAT THE RECEPTION SHOULD LAST FROM 6 TO 7.30 PM.

8.

FINALLY, ARE THERE ANY PRESS ARRANGEMENTS YOU WOULD LIKE US

TO MAKE?+++
