questioned (as we may be in view of previous CPG statements that any Chinese who is willing to return to China will be acceptable) as to their willingness to return to China, we would confine ourselves to the statement that they have indicated they would be willing to cross the border if presented. Thereafter we would act as in paragraph 1(c) to (e) of my telegram No. 150.
