VIEW TO DECIDING WHEN YOU ARE HERE. I WOULD ENVISAGE AN

ANNOUNCEMENT A FEW DAYS AFTER YOU RETURN TO HONG KONG. ALTHOUGH

I CAN SEE THE CASE FOR AN EARLY ANNOUNCEMENT I DO NOT WISH TO

APPEAR RUSHED INTO A DECISION BY PRESS PRESSURE. THOSE WHO LISTENED TO THE PRESS CONFERENCE ON 16 JANUARY WILL KNOW THAT I

WAS THEN CONSIDERING A NEW CHINESE NAME.
