FROM PAUL, HKD
MY MEETING WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF THE HONG KONG POLICE
1.
I HAVE NOTICED A BIZARRE PIECE IN THE GIST OF 6 SEPTEMBER ABOUT MY MEETING WITH MESSRS GLOVER AND LI QUOTING ME AS SAYING QUOTE THE CONSULTATIVE MACHINERY IN HONG KONG WAS STILL, IN THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT'S VIEW, ARCHAIC AND THAT IT HAD YET TO SEE ANY IMPROVEMENT IN IT. UNQUOTE.
2.
I OF COURSE SAID NO SUCH THING, AND NEITHER I NOR MIKE STONE, WHO ACCOMPANIED ME THROUGHOUT THE CALL, CAN UNDERSTAND HOW ANYTHING I SAID COULD POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN INTERPRETATED IN THIS WAY. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPORT HAS SERIOUS DIFFICULTIES WITH THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE (AS WELL AS AN INABILITY TO GET MY NAME RIGHT).
3 =
I DO NOT PROPOSE TO TAKE ANY ACTION AT THIS END, BUT IN CASE YOU SHOULD FIND IT USEFUL, I AM FAXING TO PS/GH AND TO THE BTC THE RECORD OF MY MEETING WITH THE POLICE REPRESENTATIVES.
