MY TELNO 1188:
APPOINTMENT OF NEXT GOVERNOR: MEDIA COVERAGE AND
LOCAL REACTION (1 MAY)
1.
I SAW TUR ON MY RETURN TO HONG KONG. AS YOU WILL HAVE SEEN FROM THE TRANSCRIPT OF MY PRESS CONFERENCE, SEVERAL OF THE POINTS IN PARAGRAPH 2, FOR EXAMPLE THE DATE ON WHICH I WILL LEAVE HONG KONG AND MY COMMENTS ON SPECULATION ABOUT CHANGES TO THE STRUCTURE OF
THE HONG KONG ADMINISTRATION, ARE A TOTALLY INACCURATE MISREPRESENTATION BY THE MEDIA OF WHAT I ACTUALLY SAID. IT IS A PITY THAT THIS WAS NOT MADE CLEAR IN THE TEXT OF THE TELEGRAM.
