has

repeated ly

promised

the

people of Hong Kong that the 1987 Political Review will be

genuine one. The people of Hong Kong have been

encouraged to

s pe ak up. Many have done so. And in spite of the apparently

unfair way in which the public's views have been presented in

this Report on direct elections, the conclusion is clear: there

is clear majority support in Hong Kong for the introduction of

direct elections in 1988.

Sir, let this Administration show us its undaunted

mettle and restore its credibility with us to the full by

coming to the only correct decision in the circumstances: give

our people a vote in 1988.
