DANNY GITTINGS: SCMP

I attach a copy of a self-explanatory letter and enclosures from Danny Gittings of the Sunday Morning Post.

1.

2.

Mr Gittings has a clear, legitimate interest in talking to officials and I recommend that you agree to speak to him on a background basis. If you agree to talk to Mr Gittings the question of access to others is, I think, best judged after your own meeting.

3. Mr Gittings will make contact through Mr Whiteside, who will look after Hong Kong matters in News Department while I

am away.
