DINNER FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE. IF THE SECRETARY OF STATE LEAVES HONG KONG BEFORE THE EXCO MEETING ON 28 JULY, MR PATTEN MIGHT WISH TO INVITE MEMBERS OF EXCO. IF THE SECRETARY OF STATE IS ABLE TO ATTEND EXCO, I SUGGEST TWO TABLES (TOTAL 28-30 PEOPLE), WITH A CROSS-SECTION OF MEMBERS OF EXCO AND LEGCO (INCLUDING LADY DUNN) - NO SPOUSES EXCEPT FOR MRS PATTEN. THIS MIGHT BE ON THE LINES OF THE LIST I SUGGESTED FOR THE DINNER FOR MR. NEEDHAM: WE WOULD THEN NEED TO DRAW UP A SEPARATE LIST FOR THAT DINNER TO AVOID DUPLICATION.
