PERSONAL FOR GALSWORTHY FROM PAUL, HKD

YOUR HISTORY OF THE NEGOTIATIONS OF THE JOINT DECLARATION

THERE IS, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, STILL MUCH DEMAND FOR IN YOUR HISTORY OF THE NEGOTIATIONS OF THE JOINT DECLARATION, BOTH AS BACKGROUND READING AND AS A VALUABLE REFERENCE SOURCE.

2.

WE IN HKD HAVE ONE COPY OF THE DRAFT WHICH YOU WERE PROPOSING TO SHOW TO SOME OF THE KEY PLAYERS IN THE NEGOTIATIONS. WHAT I AM NOT CLEAR ABOUT IS WHETHER A FINAL VERSION NOW EXISTS. IF IT DOES, WE WOULD CERTAINLY LIKE TO HAVE ONE IN THE DEPARTMENT, AND SO NO DOUBT WOULD OTHERS. WHAT IS THE POSITION?
