3. WE WERE SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT MURPHY HAD TOLD MARCOS THAT ASEAN COULD COUNT ON QUOTE FULL FINANCIAL SUPPORT UNQUOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL. WE SHOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW IF MURPHY WAS SPEAKING ON STATE DEPARTMENT AUTHORITY. WE WOULD NOT RULE OUT IN ADVANCE THE POSSIBLILITY OF THE UK PROVIDING SOME FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR A PROCESSING CENTRE (IF THE UNHCR WISHED TO SET ONE UP), BUT THIS IS STILL HYPOTHETICAL AND ANY CASE TO MINISTERS WOULD HAVE TO BE BASED ON WELL-THOUGHT-OUT PROPOSALS.
4. THE VOLUNTARY AGENCIES HERE ARE TRYING URGENTLY TO FIND SUITABLE ACCOMMODATION FOR THOSE ON THE TUNG AN WHO HAVE CLOSE TIES WITH THE UK. WE SHALL TELEGRAPH AS SOON AS WE KNOW WHEN THEY CAN BE RECEIVED HERE.
