Tamils last year,

I do not think that the use of the

endo ement I propose would make it significantly

.

more difficult for a future government to introduce a

visa requirement for BN (0) s from Hong Kong. It would

be necessary to announce that in view of the

the crisis

the rules were being changed and that notwithstanding

the endorsement visas would be required.

To

up I think that by agreeing to this

endorsement we would lose nothing, and would

very good chance of avoiding the worst of the

confrontation which now

stand

a

threatens. I hope very much

that you can

agree to it

་

CONFIDENTIAL

:))
