I should be grateful for any comments you may have on these papers.

I am also consulting NTD (on para 2 of telno

2991 in particular) and HM Customs and Excise.

3. Hong Kong have asked for "early" comments. I should be grateful for at least a preliminary view by midday on

19 October, so that I can send a telegram before the

weekend.
