YOUR TELNO 1001: HONG KONG PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE TO THE IMO 1. WE BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD NOT BE FRUITFUL TO RETURN TO THE CHARGE WITH MENSAH ON THIS MATTER WHICH HAS BEEN DELAYED ALREADY. WHILST WE CAN UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN EXPRESSED IN YOUR PARA 2 WE DOUBT WHETHER THE IMO WOULD BE SO FINELY TUNED. AS A PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE HAS YET TO BE APPOINTED WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE DESIGNATE COULD ACT AS IN YOUR PARA 3. WE THERE- FORE CONTINUE TO FAVOUR STRONGLY THE TWO PROPOSALS IN OUR TELNO 743, AND SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR EARLY ADVICE AS TO WHICH OF THESE YOU WOULD PREFER TO BE ADOPTED. WE HOPE THAT IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO SETTLE THE MATTER QUICKLY SO THAT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE

DESIGNATE CAN BEGIN TO OPERATE SOON.
