i) encourage Balfour Beatty's continuing involvement in Hong Kong and applaud the seriousness, and the initial
success of their bid to win work on the airport project.
ii) To assure them that despite HMG's support for Trafalgar
House/Costain we are also anxious to assist them and believe
that there is enough work in this project for all.
(Note: This is slightly embarrasing. But HMG's policy is only to support financially one company

Trafalgar/Costain were in first. This relates to OPF

costs ie preparing tenders etc).
iii) To confirm the support and assistance of the BTC Hong
Kong.
iv) Also to assure them of support for Black Point where their interests do not directly conflict with GEC/Alsthom,
although there may be some overlap.
