Your Majesty:

February 22, 1988

On September 23, 1987 I wrote the attached letter to the Crown Colony of Hong Kong and received the attached reply. Unfortunately, the Governor of the Crown Colony and the Television Licensing Authority apparently have not understood the message

that it is inconsistent for certain types of television programs to be prohibited in Britain and permitted in Hong Kong. In this respect I give you a copy of an article from Variety dated January 6, 1988 to the effect that viewers in Hong Kong will now be exposed to full frontal nudity on the T.V. screen.

crime and violence

on the TV screen than they are
