NEITHER WE NOR PARIS HAVE HEARD ANYTHING FURTHER FROM HARRIS ABOUT THIS CASE. YOUR TELNO 813 REPORTED THAT AN APPROACH TO THE CONSEIL D'ETAT WOULD NEED TO BE MADE QUOTE WITHIN TWO MONTHS OF 19 SEPTEMBER UNQUOTE. ALTHOUGH THE TARGET DATE IN FAX UR (15 OCTOBER) HAS NOW PASSED, PARIS THINK THAT THERE IS STILL TIME TO WRITE TO THE CONSEIL D'ETAT PROVIDED THAT IT IS DONE SOON. OUR LEGAL ADVISERS ARE CONTENT THAT MME
MASSE-DESSEN SHOULD BE INSTRUCTED TO ACT ON BEHALF OF BOTH HMG AND HKG. WE SHOULD THEREFORE BE GRATEFUL TO KNOW IF YOU WOULD WISH US TO DO SO.
