ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW GOVERNOR: MEDIA ARRANGEMENTS

1.

I UNDERSTAND THAT IN A TELEPHONE CONVERSATION WITH THE NEW

GOVERNOR YOU SUGGESTED THAT THE QUOTE PROFILE UNQUOTE INTERVIEW

WITH HIM MIGHT BETTER BE FILMED ON THE DAY AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT

OF HIS APPOINTMENT IS MADE, RATHER THAN LATER AS YOU HAD

ORIGINALLY ENVISAGED. (PARA 4(C) OF YOUR TELNO 059 REFERS.)

2. WOULD YOU WISH TO ADVISE US FORMALLY THAT THIS FURTHER

TELEVISION FILM SHOULD BE RECORDED ON THE EARLIER DATE?

WE ASSUME THAT HKGO WOULD MAKE THE PRACTICAL ARRANGEMENTS.
