I wonder if you could help me again on Hong Kong in the following ways.

Can I come and talk to you about recent developments in Hong Kong and your present analysis of the situation?

Could you advise me as to who is the most appropriate Foreign Office specialist with whom I could discuss the events as they unfold, on a regular basis (and of course on background only)

Would it be possible for us to film one or another of the meetings which I presume you or the Foreign Secretary chairs when Hong Kong is on the agenda? As both you and Douglas are aware (and very helpfully so) our five-part series - as it has now become! needs as much "fly-on-the-wall"/ access to the process of diplomacy as possible.

All the best to you and Cecilia for 1993.
