FOLLOWING FOR PS/GH FROM HUM, AUSS
SECRETARY OF STATE'S VISIT TO HONG KONG
1. AS YOU WILL HAVE SEEN FROM OTHER TELEGRAMS, I SHALL BE ACCOMPANYING THE SECRETARY OF STATE ON HIS VISIT TO HONG KONG. MY PLAN IS TO ARRIVE SEPARATELY ON THE EVENING OF SATURDAY 25 JULY ON FLIGHT BA27, AND TO LEAVE ON THE EVENING OF 28 JULY BY FLIGHT BA28. I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR TELNO 1892 TO PETER RICKETTS ON RECEPTION ARRANGEMENTS.
2. I WILL HAVE THE BEST PART OF A DAY IN HONG KONG ON 28 JULY AFTER THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S DEPARTURE. I RECOGNISE THAT I MAY FIND MYSELF SUCKED INTO WORK ARISING FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S DISCUSSIONS IN HONG KONG, BUT OTHERWISE I WOULD LIKE TO TRY AND SPEND SOME TIME CATCHING UP WITH THOSE WHO WERE NOT IN TOWN WHEN I VISITED IN JUNE. YOU WILL ALSO HAVE SEEN MY EXCHANGE WITH PHILIP MORRICE ABOUT MY PLAN FOR A DISCUSSION WITH HIM ON TAIWAN.
3. IT MAY BE BEST NOT TO MAKE FIRM ARRANGEMENTS UNTIL VERY MUCH NEARER THE TIME. BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE SAFER TO SET ASIDE THE AFTERNOON FOR DISCUSSIONS WITH PHILIP MORRICE. (PERHAPS I COULD USE AN OFFICE AT UKREP JLG).
4.
I SHOULD MUCH WELCOME A CHANCE TO CALL ON THE GOVERNOR, IF THIS WAS POSSIBLE. FOR THE REST, ALL ELSE BEING EQUAL, I SHOULD LIKE IN PRINCIPLE TO PAY INTRODUCTORY CALLS ON:
FINANCIAL SECRETARY
SECRETARY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS
CHIEF JUSTICE
SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION AND MANPOWER ATTORNEY GENERAL (TIME PERMITTING),
