As a next step, Hatfield would like to talk informally t
Che will be visiting in early May) 4 those concerned in Hong Kong to see whether some way could be 5 found to meet MOD's needs without causing the kind of problems
6 mentioned in your tur. I encouraged him to send an emollient
7 telegram in response to your Telno 1185 as the best preparation
8 for such talks.

I told Hatfield that, however one looked at it, the MOD

cost-share arrangement, and that was likely to cause
11
12 difficulties for you. I hope that you will nonetheless ask your 13 people to discuss the situation with him with as open a mind as 14 they can muster: the MOD do have genuine problems.
