As I am sure you will understand, recent events in

China have been a matter of particularly serious

concern to the United Kingdom because of our

responsibilities for Hong Kong. I have decided that

I must make an early visit to Hong Kong and with

great regret I have concluded that the only

practicable dates would overlap with my planned visit

to the GDR. I have been much looking forward to the

visit and very much hope that it will prove possible

to reinstate it.

With my sincere apologies for any inconvenience.
