MR WADDINGTON'S VISIT TO HONG KONG BEGINNING 24 SEPTEMBER.

WE FEEL THAT SUCH A DELAY WILL BE PRESENTATIONALLY

DAMAGING TO OUR CONTINUING EFFORTS TO SECURE MORE RESETTLEMENT

PLACES FOR HONG KONG. OUR AIM THEREFORE IS TO CONSULT MINISTERS

AT THE START OF SEPTEMBER, AFTER THE SUMMER BREAK, ON A FURTHER

APPROACH TO THEIR HOME OFFICE COLLEAGUES ON THE LINES OF PARA 5

OF OUR TELNO 1346. WE SHALL KEEP YOU INFORMED OF PROGRESS.
