Airport and Related Projects

I find the attached transcript very informative and agree that we should circulate it to our contacts. I think it will be helpful to the recipients if we also include a

of the joint press copy

statement (with a

of copy memorandum of understanding) issued on 4 July 1991 by FCO and HKG as some of them may not be fully aware of understandings reached on the airport and related questions.

Media contacts CIO has a list of media contacts (national and regional press plus specialist trade press) to whom we used to send PADS-related material until a few months ago when the airport talks stalled. Distribution of appropriate PADS-related material to these media contacts should resume and the press statement plus transcript can be the first batch to be distributed.

(iii) Others

PCI has a list of industrial/commercial contacts with interest in PADS to whom we used to send PADS-related material. As with our

our media contacts, distribution of appropriate PADS-related material to them should resume if they remain interested. PCI should review the list and arrange distribution of the press release plus transcript.
