WHEN I MENTIONED THAT YOU HAD RECEIVED REPRESENTATIONS
FROM AN ORGANISATION IN LONDON ASKING FOR A STAY OF REPATRIATION, HOAN SAID THAT HE HAD ALREADY HEARD OF
AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL'S INTEREST AND HOPED THAT REPATRIATION
COULD BE ARRANGED WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY SO AS TO AVOID
FURTHER UNNECESSARY PUBLICITY. HE COMMENTED THAT AMNESTY
INTERNATIONAL HABITUALLY CHOSE TO BELIEVE NORTH VIETNAMESE
PROPAGANDA RATHER THAN SOUTH VIETNAMESE FACT AND HE WAS NOT
SURPRISED BY THEIR ATTITUDE IN THE PRESENT INCIDENT.
