WE HAVE RECEIVED A SERIES OF ENQUIRIES FROM THE HONG KONG PRESS ON THE EXPERT TALKS ON PADS. ALL HAVE CENTRED ON WHETHER THE CHINESE HAVE GIVEN US AN ULTIMATUM TO STOP WORK ON PADS PENDING DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CHINESE. WE HAVE STUCK FIRMLY TO THE LINE THAT WE HAVE NOTHING TO ADD TO MACLEOD'S STATEMENT AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE ON 12 JANUARY AND HAVE REFERRED FURTHER ENQUIRIES TO GIS, HKG AND NEWS DEPARTMENT, F C 0.
