TO W W Y FUNG, GENERAL DUTIES BRANCH, HONG KONG GOVERNMENT

NEGOTIATION OF JOINT DECLARATION: CONCORDANCE

1. I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH INTO VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE JOINT DECLARATION AND THE NEGOTIATION OF THE AGREEMENT, IN PREPARATION FOR THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE ENQUIRY INTO HONG

KONG.

IN THE COURSE OF DOING THIS, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT, IN HKD, WE ONLY HAVE A COPY OF THE FIRST PART OF THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT CONCORDANCE (COVERING UP TO APRIL 1984). I WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD LET US HAVE A COPY OF THE LATTE PART OF THE CONCORDANCE TO COMPLETE OUR RECORDS.

SIGNED: C ELLIOT
