INFO IMMEDIATE PEKING, UKREP JLG HONG KONG
422/7
YRTELNO 60 TO UKREP JLG HONG KONG: ESTABLISHMENT OF AIRPORT COMMITTEE
1. WE HAVE DISCUSSED TUR WITH UKREP JLG. ON CONSIDERATION, WE BOTH AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR ME TO INFORM THE CHINESE
SIDE DIRECT OF THE PEOPLE I PROPOSE TO APPOINT TO THE CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE, AND ALSO TO SOLICIT THE CHINESE NOMINATIONS TO THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY, RATHER THAN DOING THIS THROUGH THE JLG.
2. IF LU PING TAKES UP MY INVITATION TO VISIT HONG KONG ON 20 JULY I WOULD BE ABLE TO ASK HIM ABOUT CHINESE THINKING ON THEIR SHORT-LIST FOR A LOCAL MEMBER OF THE BANK OF CHINA GROUP TO JOIN THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY. BUT I DOUBT IF WE WILL BE READY BY THEN TO PUT FORWARD OUR PROPOSALS FOR MEMBERSHIP OF THE CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE. A SEPTEMBER MEETING BETWEEN ME AND LU MIGHT PROVIDE A MORE REALISTIC OPPORTUNITY. OTHERWISE PA COULD PASS THE LIST THROUGH NCNA, OR I COULD SEND IT TO LU PING THROUGH SIR R MCLAREN.
