YOUR TELNO 1060:

PROPOSED VISIT BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE.

1.

THANK YOU FOR TUR. THE GOVERNOR HAS NO PROBLEMS WITH THE PROPOSED VISIT DATES. WE SUGGEST THE DETAILS OF THE PROGRAMME BE DECIDED LATER, IN THE LIGHT OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN HONG KONG. HOWEVER FROM THIS DISTANCE, IT APPEARS THAT A MEETING WITH THE SENIOR OFFICIALS OF THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT SOME ACTIVITY WITH LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL MEMBERS, A DINNER, AND A POSSIBLE ATTENDANCE AT THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEETING ON 29 MARCH WOULD MORE OR LESS FILL UP THE PERIOD OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S STAY HERE.
