SAFETY: CHINA: VISIT OF LORD

454

1. LORD MARSHALL IS KNOWN AND WELL-RESPECTED IN CHINA. THE CHINESE

WOULD UNDOUBTEDLY WELCOME ANY CONTRIBUTION HE COULD MAKE TOWARDS

REASSURING HONG KONG PUBLIC OPINION. BUT AS YOU SAY THE TIMING OF

HIS PROPOSED VISIT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE HOW HIS EXPERTISE AND

PRESTIGE COULD BEST BE DEPLOYED AT THAT TIME. COULD A DECISION NOT

BE LEFT UNTIL AFTER SIGNATURE OF CONTRACTS, AND IN THE LIGHT OF HOW

PUBLIC OPINION IS THEN MOVING?
