I would like to talk about the amendment proposed by Mr. Martin Lee. Since we can see that we have divided views, and if we have amend- ments it will aggravate the situation, and then in 1993, we have been given a promise that in 1991 there will be direct elections and therefore I am willing to accept that position, but I stiff would like to appeal to the Administration to rethink the matter, and I cannot support the amendment proposed by Mr. Martin Lee.

elections to the Legislative Council and perhaps we can have amendments there so that in 1988, we can have direct elections, and this is something that we can discuss.

Lastly, I would like to talk about the motions raised regarding
