18. The next logical step would appear to be tied to the findings of the Securities Review Committee and the subsequent action taken in the light of those recommendations. The Hong Kong Group on Wall Street is adopting a wait-and-see attitude and will carefully examine the findings and recommendations of the Review Committee and the Government's response to them. It will be necessary at all stages to despatch spokesmen to the US to explain each step along the way.

This would be done in small groups and in some cases on a one-on-one basis with particularly powerful people who would spread the news (good or bad) quickly on their own network. Media publicity would need to be handled sensitively.
