VERY ENCOURAGING.
FOUND THEIR ATTITUTE
REASSURING.
BASIC LAW: I SET OUT CONCERNS IN HONG KONG
THAT HAD BEEN RAISED IN HOUSE OF LORDS DEBATE.
THEY LISTENED VERY CAREFULLY.
SO I EMPHASISE: THEY SHOWED THEMSELVES VERY
READY TO TAKE ACCOUNT OF CONCERNS OF HONG KONG
PEOPLE, AND TO MAKE AMENDMENTS TO THE DRAFT AS
A RESULT OF THEIR CONSULTATIONS HERE.
BOAT PEOPLE: I EXPLAINED NEW HONG KONG POLICY
AND SOUGHT THEIR CO-OPERATION, ESPECIALLY OVER
COAST-HOPPING TO HONG KONG. THEY SAID THEY'D
LOOK INTO THIS.
GENERALLY, THEY MADE CLEAR THEIR SUPPORT FOR
HONG KONG'S POLICY.
