In Lydia

Elspeth and I are most grateful to you and your

OMELCO colleagues for the excellent dinner on 3 July.

I was also particularly grateful to you for the advice

you offered throughout the visit. You may be assured that I shall continue to do all that I possibly can to

restore confidence to Hong Kong. I cannot promise miracles.

But I can promise continued firm commitment on the part

of myself, the Foreign Office and the British Government.

GEOFFREY HOWE
