TO:

1. APOLOGIES FOR NOT LETTING YOU KNOW THAT WE HAD SWITCHED THE

VISITS TO THE BTC AND THE CONVENTION AND EXHIBITION CENTRE. THE

REASON FOR DOING SO IS THAT MISS LYDIA DUNN WILL BE IN EXCO ALL

MORNING ON 10 JANUARY AND WANTED TO BE ABLE TO RECEIVE LORD GLENARTHUR WHEN HE VISITS THE CONVENTION CENTRE. MIFT CONTAINS THE CURRENT PROGRAMME, APART FROM THE VISIT TO THE JLG OFFICE, ON WHICH WE AWAIT YOUR ADVICE.

2. IT IS INDEED THE INTENTION THAT THE PRESS SHOULD BE INVITED TO COVER THE VISIT TO THE SITE OF THE HKUST (SEE MY TELNO 4541).

GRATEFUL FOR MORE DETAILS OF LORD GLENARTHUR'S PLAN TO MAKE A

DONATION OF COMPUTER EQUIPMENT. DOES HE INTEND TO MENTION THIS TO

SIR S.Y. CHUNG DURING THE SITE VISIT? IF SO, WOULD HE WISH TO TALK TO THE PRESS AFTER THE VISIT SO THAT HE COULD TELL THEM ABOUT THE DONATION ?
