use of the service of nuclear power, but in view of all the hazards of the radiation and by virtue of 'nothing is certain but death and taxes' concern- ing about the nuclear power under control, it is only wise to appreciate that 'the best gain is to lose1 in respect of giving up the service of nuclear power to mankind, so as to treasure the life of every human being in this word- world..

Subsequently, my conclusion is that, as I said so in my letter of 26 August 1986 addressed to the Governor of Hong Kong,, that anyone who should be in support of having the service of the nuclear power to mankind, he/she would only adopt. 'the wish is father to the thought' and that is that.

Accordingly, since you have great concern for the safety of people in mainland China too, it may not be a bad idea that you write and advise the Chinese Government in mainland China to make full use of those water falls: to generate electricity, with assistance from experts in this field. How about inventing some manmade water falls to generate electricity ? How about get- ting those nuclear experts to switch their talent to concentrate on making use of the energy from the sun to generate electricity ? Meanwhile, mankind must find ways to economize using the electricity instead of turning to make use of the service of the nuclear power.

My way of thinking is that in view of all the hazards of radiation to destroy mankind any time,, the authorities concerned in Hong Kong should not waste any more money, time and energy on the global fact-finding, and the Chinese Government in mainland China would be very stupid indeed to go ahead and spend a great fortune for those safety measures which can or cope with

never what cannot possibly cebeen to cause the nuclear power to get out of con- trol any time to cause disaster to people in Hong Kong, China and so forth.

I am happy to learn from South China Morning Post, Sunday, September 7, 1986 that Legislative Councillor Dr. Conrad Lam said that he would not give up his fight to have the Daya Bay project shelved and his view was shared by a spokeman for the Joint Conference for the Shelving of the Daya Bay Nu- clear Plant, Reverend Fung Chi-wood.

Herewith, I am enclosing South China Morning Post, Sunday, September 7 1986, page 3 and page 13 concerning the issue of nuclear power plant in Daya Bay for your information and reference..

Perhaps a letter from you to the Chinese Government in mainland China to postpone signing the contract concerned until 1 July 1997 plus having Sir Geoffrey Howe to have a chat with the authorities concerned in mainland China could help to have the Daya Bay project shelved..

Just in case, if your efforts should fail to peruade and convince the Chinese Government in mainland China to accept your care and concern for them, it would be well documented that you have done your very best to prevent poepà people in Hong Kong and China from becoming victims as a result of the nuclear power getting out of control any time.

Aa regard to the political Reform it would be necessary to let Her Majesty Government have full responsibility to see that those current leaders in Hong Kong do a good job for Hong Kong, right up to 30 June 1997.

I am now also enclosing South China Morning Post, Thursday, August 28 1986, page 3 under the title Corruption top complaint in China, says poll, for you to refer to.

With all good wishes and my best regards to you always.
