KERRY AMENDMENT TO ANTI
-
DRUG ABUSE ACT
THE USCG HAVE ASKED FOR A MEETING EARLY IN MARCH AT WHICH THEY WILL PROPOSE THAT WE DISCUSS, AS REQUIRED BY THE KERRY AMENDMENT, AN AGREEMENT WHEREBY RECORDS OF LARGE US CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO US ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. THEY PROPOSE TO TABLE A DRAFT MODEL TEXT AT THE MEETING.
2. WE SHALL OBVIOUSLY NEED TO CONSIDER THE REQUEST CAREFULLY IN CONSULTATION WITH YOU IN THE LIGHT OF ALL THE POSSIBLE IMPLICATIONS INCLUDING THE DESIRABILITY OF A SEPARATE AGREEMENT FOR HONG KONG AND THE 1997 ANGLE. MEANWHILE WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL TO KNOW IF A SIMILAR APPROACH HAS BEEN MADE TO YOU.
