WE HAVE JUST BEEN ADVISED BY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE HMOCS ASSOCIATION THAT NEWS OF THE ASSOCIATION'S INAUGURAL GENERAL MEETING AND THE HMOCS ISSUE IS LIKELY TO ATTRACT MEDIA ATTENTION IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. THERE ARE ONE OR TWO MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION SERVING IN THE RADIO TELEVISION HONG KONG AND MEDIA INTEREST IS LIKELY TO EMANATE FROM THIS SOURCE.

THE ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE HAVE DECIDED TO ANSWER MEDIA ENQUIRIES BY STATING THAT QUOTE 'THIS IS PURELY A MATTER BETWEEN HMOCS OFFICERS AND HMG. WE HAVE NO COMMENTS BUT YOU MIGHT WISH TO ASK THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN IN HONG KONG'.
3.
WE SHALL ALERT THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN IN HONG KONG. PLEASE INFORM GOVERNOR AND SHIPLEY (CSB) VISITING AND ADVISE WHAT LINE YOU WOULD WISH TO TAKE.
