FOLLOWING FOR PRIVATE SECRETARY. GOVERNMENT HOUSE, FROM WILSON YOUR TELNO 889: REQUEST FOR INTERVIEWS

1.

2.

I ACCEPT THE ADVICE ON THE CANADIAN BROADCASTING CORPORA-

TION SCHEME. IT WOULD LOOK WRONG TO GIVE AN INTERVIEW

IMMEDIATELY ON ARRIVAL TO THEM AND NOT TO THE HONG KONG MEDIA.

I SHOULD BE HAPPY TO SEE THE GROUP FROM THE US NATIONAL

CONFERENCE OF EDITORIAL WRITERS ON 25 APRIL AND TO OFFER THEM

LUNCH THAT DAY. INCLUDING SPOUSES FOR LUNCH WOULD PROBABLY BE

GOOD IN PR TERMS BUT WE MUST MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE ENOUGH SOLID

PEOPLE ON OUR SIDE TO MAKE IT AN INFORMATIVE AS WELL AS A GOOD SOCIAL OCCASION FOR THE VISITORS. SUBJECT TO VIEWS AT YOUR END, I WOULD BE INCLINED TO INVITE VISITORS' SPOUSES BUT TO KEEP OUR SIDE TO PLAYERS (MALE OR FEMALE) ONLY.
