Dear Mr Milne,

Licence for AsiaSat

26 March 1990

ce the Wagent (for)

Thank you for your letter of 21 March and the

laed draft licence For Asiasat.

PW

Asiasat NH

We are generally content with the draft and our only comment relates to Condition 8.1 (insurance). We would much prefer to delete references to 'in/after consultation with the Secretary of State' as they would not look very good presentationally with the Chinese. practico we would of course consult with

you and there appears to be no need to spell out the consultation requirement in the licence.

We suggested the inclusion of the words 'by the Governor' in Condition 5.1.2 because of its presentational advėzbace with the Chinese. However, if you consider the proposed additional words unacceptable, we would ne prepared to accept the Condition as it now standa.

We have informed AsiaSat about the two

pavebanding issues regarding the acceptance of liability by the PRC and the details of the Asiasat insurano:

Arrangements. Mr Seddon has agreed to aek Willis Faber & Dumas and Satellite Insurance Services to pass the detailed policy wording to you as soon as possible.

Many thanks for the arrangements you have made for Mr Au's visit. Please note that Mr John Wilson from the Attorney General's Chambers would like to join * A! for the meetings with Mrs Darvell and Mrs Major on 4 April. Grateful if you could pass on the message to Mra

and Mrs Major.
