PERSONAL FOR POLITICAL ADVISER FROM PAUL, HKD
MR BRIAN HOOK
1. AS YOU MAY KNOW, MR BRIAN HOOK, THE EDITOR OF THE CHINA QUARTERLY IS CURRENTLY IN HONG KONG AND WILL BE PAYING A VISIT TO PEKING IN THE SECOND OR THIRD WEEK OF JULY. HE CALLED ON US BEFORE HIS DEPARTURE.
2. BRIAN HOOK EXPRESSED PARTICULAR INTEREST IN THE AIRPORT PROJECT AND WANTED TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY OF HIS VISIT TO LOBBY ON BEHALF OF HONG KONG. HE ASKED US FOR DETAILS OF THE OUTSTANDING ISSUES, INCLUDING AN INDICATION OF HONG KONG'S RESERVES, BROKEN DOWN IN AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE: AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE FINANCIAL ASSUMPTIONS UPON WHICH THE AIRPORT WOULD BE BUILT. ALL THIS IS, OF COURSE, WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE NOW THAT AGREEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED. BUT IT MIGHT NEVERTHELESS BE A GOOD IDEA IF SOMEONE COULD CONTACT HIM IN HONG KONG TO BRING HIM UP TO DATE.
3. HE CAN BE REACHED CARE OF SIR ROBERT BLACK COLLEGE AT HONG KONG UNIVERSITY.
