FOLLOWING FOR POLITICAL ADVISER FROM HUM, HKD
MY VISIT
1.
AS YOU KNOW, I SHALL BE IN HONG KONG FOR THE WHOLE OF 28 JUNE BEFORE LORD GLENARTHUR'S VISIT GETS UNDER WAY. I SHOULD FIND IT VERY HELPFUL TO PAY A SERIES OF CALLS IN THE GOVERNMENT
SECRETARIAT TO DISCUSS CURRENT BUSINESS. WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR YOUR OFFICE TO MAKE UP A PROGRAMME FOR ME, CONSISTING OF APPOINTMENTS WITH THE FOLLOWING:
YOURSELF
BARRIE WIGGHAM (BASIC LAW, JLG BUSINESS)
JOHN CHAN (FIRST SAR GOVERNMENT)
GEOFF BARNES (VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE)
DAVID NENDICK (SECURITIES
JEREMY MATHEWS (GENERAL).
REVIEW)
IF I HAVE BEEN TOO AMBITIOUS FOR ONE DAY, THE LIST IS IN ROUGHLY DESCENDING ORDER OF URGENCY. I WOULD NATURALLY ALSO BE HAPPY TO
CALL
ON DAVID FORD IF HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE ME.
IN
3. I SHOULD ALSO FIND IT HELPFUL IF I COULD LOOK AT YOUR REPORTS ON THE GROUND INSPECTION OF GARRISON FACILITIES, PREPARATION FOR THE FORTHCOMING EXPERT TALKS ON DEFENCE. I IMAGINE THAT YOU HAVE FULLER RECORDS THAN HAVE BEEN SENT TO THE FCO. PERHAPS I COULD SIT QUIETLY AND DO THAT ON THE AFTERNOON OF 27 JUNE, IF I AM COMPOS MENTIS ON ARRIVAL.
