Dear Bild,
SECRET
COLONIAL SECRETARIAT LOWER ALBERT ROAD HONG KONG
20th May, 1969
Since July 1967, we have been periodically revising the directive on the
Joint Command and Control Organisation for dealing with emergencies. The
actual machinery has been modified as the times and circumstances have
dictated and has coped successfully with all the problems with which we
have been faced. We have, however, found some difficulty in defining the
machinery in terms which satisfy the need of both the Services and the
Police for a fairly rigid command structure, while retaining the
flexibility which is essential if the Administration is to play its part
fully.
2.
Four copies of the final paper, approved by the Governor's Committee,
are attached for your information and such distribution as you think
necessary. Copies have been sent to Singapore and the Services have also
distributed copies through their own channels. It is not proposed to
review this agreed structure for twelve months.
Yours sincerely
Almikuk
