DECLASSIFICATION OF HONG KONG LOW FLYING CHART

1.

I enclose a copy of a letter from the Hong Kong Political Adviser's Office, dated 19 November.

2.

Hong Kong's proposal to declassify a suitably "sanitised" version of the chart looks sensible to me, given:

CRAF/Hong Kong's agreement, and

that difficulties

must

face in

Hong Kong's few unique Hong Kong's

civilian fliers geographical and physical circumstances.

I

should

like therefore

to

agree

to

this

proposal,

if

possible. Mr Fifoot, HKD's Legal Adviser, has suggested that MOD should

be consulted (this I am now doing separately), and that MAED's Legal Adviser should be consulted regarding the question of Hong Kong's maritime boundary (the "square box").

4.

see

own

any

to your I should therefore be grateful if, subject comments, you would

ask your Legal Advisers whether they objection to the proposals in Hong Kong's letter.
