PERSONAL FOR PS/GOVERNOR FROM HUM, HKD

YOUR TELNO 3299: SECRETARY OF STATE'S VISIT

1.

WE ACCEPT THE GOVERNOR'S ADVICE. WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL

IF MARTIN LEE COULD BE INFORMED ACCORDINGLY.

2.

WE THINK HOWEVER THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE WOULD WISH

TO TALK TO LEE FOR TWO OR THREE MINUTES DURING THE PRE-DINNER

DRINKS. WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL IF THAT COULD BE ARRANGED. NO

DOUBT IT COULD BE STAGE-MANAGED SO AS TO AVOID GIVING ANY

IMPRESSION THAT LEE WAS RECEIVING SPECIAL TREATMENT. THE

SECRETARY OF STATE WOULD WISH TO TALK IN A SIMILAR WAY TO OTHERS

AMONG LEE'S LEGCO COLLEAGUES.
