Copies to:

Thank you for your letter of 26 July. I very much

appreciated your expression of congratulations on my

appointment.

I regret that I did not have an opportunity to follow

through your letter about the automatic engine project in

Tianjin. I am sure however that my successor in the DTI

will be doing so

Enclosures flag(s)

It was good of you to think of me as a possible

subject for an interview for the Hong Kong Standard and

I am flattered that you should consider that I already

'know' Hong Kong.

But I think it would be a little

premature for me

to give a one-to-one interview before

I have had the chance to read myself into the subject.
