“The report could put pressure on government and be misinterpreted.”
“It’s better to wait for a more detailed study over longer time.
Stage II, discredit the evidence you’re not publishing.
“It leaves important questions unanswered, the evidence is inconclusive, the figures are open to other interpretations, that certain findings are contradictory, and that some of the main conclusions have been questioned.”
Stage III, undermine the recommendations.
“Not a basis for long-term decisions. Not sufficient information on which to base a valid assessment. Not really any need for a fundamental rethink of policies. Broadly speaking, endorses current practice.”
Stage IV, discredit the man who produced the report, off the record.
“Say that he’s harboring a grudge against the government. Better still, that he used to be a consultant to a multi-national company. Or he’s trying for a knighthood or vice-chancellorship.”
On the Chemistry Industry Issue—应对工厂威胁

《国策论——论行政执行的政策制定与行政政策的行政执行》Humpy著
It has been the government’s policy to regard policy as the responsibility of the ministers, and the administrations as the responsibility of officials.

Especially when responsibility for the administration of the policy of administration conflicts or overlaps with responsibility for the policy of the administration of policy.

How to Not Disclose the Files
This file contains the complete set of papers, except for a number of secret documents, a few others which are part of still-active files, some correspondence lost in the floods of 1967. Records which went stray in the move to London. And others when the War Office was incorporated with the Ministry of Defense, and the normal withdrawal of papers whose publications could give grounds for an action for libel or breach of confidence or cause embarrassment to friendly governments.
Humpy圣诞夜离任赠言
The relationship, which I might tentatively ventured to adverse being not without some degree of reciprocal utility and perhaps even occasional gratification.
There is a vertical point of irreversible bifurcation, and to be brief, is in the propinquity of its ultimate, regrettable termination.

Jim, to be the PM? — Comments by Humpy and Arnold
A compromise candidate should be:

- No bright ideas.
- Not intellectually committed.
- Without the strength of purpose to change anything.
- Someone who know can be manipulated, professionally guided. And leave the business of government in the hands of the experts.
