WE HAVE PUT IN A PRELIMINARY REQUEST FOR A CALL ON LU PING ON THE AFTERNOON OF 6 OCTOBER. THE STATE COUNCIL HONG KONG AND MACAO AFFAIRS OFFICE SAY THAT LU PING IS OUT OF THE OFFICE AT MEETINGS ALL DAY TOMORROW. THEY HAVE SUGGESTED THAT I CALL ON VICE-DIRECTOR CHEN ZIYING INSTEAD.

2. I INTEND TO GO BACK TO THEM AND SAY THAT I HAVE A PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR LU PING FROM THE GOVERNOR. IF THEY STILL SAY HE IS UNAVAILABLE I WILL CALL ON CHEN.
