SECRETARY OF STATE'S BILATERAL WITH QIAN: HONG KONG

1.

I attach a first draft of the main brief for the

Secretary of State's bilateral with Qian. Subject to any comments; I propose to fax this to Hong Kong and Peking this evening.

2. As you will see, the speaking note does not say much on the question of timing. This is because I think the point may be best dealt with as part of briefing the Chinese on what the Governor will say in his address to LegCo. On that, we are awaiting Hong Kong's draft.
