FOUNCEMENT,
WE HAVE SEEN THE TEXT OF MRS CHANS WHICH APPEARED IN FINANCIAL TIMES OF 3 JANUARY, AND HAVE SPOKEN TO BASL AND UKAG.

BASL (ROGER KITLEY, INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR) SAID THEY WERE INITIALLY SURPRISED TO HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED. REFLECTION HOWEVER THEY THOUGHT BASL MAY HAVE GIVEN HKG THE IMPRESSION THAT THEIR PRIME INTEREST WAS IN EQUITY PARTICIPATION IN, AND OPERATION OF, PRIVATISED AIRPORT, DESPITE BASL'S BID TO PREQUALIFY FOR THIS STUDY. BASL ASSUME THAT PARSONS (RMP ECON) WILL WIN THE MASTER PLAN CONTRACT, BECAUSE OF THEIR EARLIER WORK FOR HKG. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE NEW CONTRACT IS TO RENEW AND UPDATE THE EXISTING MASTER PLAN AND TO EXAMINE THE CIVIL ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE PROJECT.
THE
ON
3. UKAG'S ATTITUDE TO THE STUDY BEING UNDERTAKEN BY A NON-BRITISH CONSULTANT IS COLOURED BY THEIR COLLECTIVE AND INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE OF THE CAESARS WIFE ATTITUDE OF BRITISH CONSULTANTS. UKCAA'S COYNESS REFERRED TO IN PARA 3 OF OUR OTTER 262 IS AN EXAMPLE OF THIS. PROVIDED THE STUDY DOES NOT DESCEND TO A LEVEL OF DETAIL WHERE FOR EXAMPLE USFAA STANDARDS ARE IMPOSED, AS OPPOSED TO ICAO STANDARDS, OR WHERE DETAILED EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS ARE DRAWN UP WRITTEN AROUND US JAPANESE OR DUTCH EQUIPMENT THEY WOULD HOPE TO LIVE WITH A STUDY CARRIED OUT BY A NON-BRITISH GROUPING. ANY INFORMATION ON THE DETAILED SCOPE OF THE STUDY YOU CAN GLEAM FROM LOK WOULD BE VALUABLE.
