These figures exclude persons who are still in the country of temporary asylum, but have been accepted for resettlement by another country and are merely awaiting departure. These total some 12,500 persons, of whom 9,463 boat people.
Plus 2,637 persons on "Skyluok" still awaiting permission to land.
These figures exclude refugees "sur place", i.e. those who were in the country of settlement at the time of the change of régime in South Vietnam. They include refugees accepted by the country of resettlement but still awaiting departure in the country of temporary asylum.
