1. WE HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED D OF 1'S MONTHLY REPORTS ON IMMIGRATION
FROM CHINA FOR MARCH AND APRIL.
2. SINCE WE ARE LIKELY TO HAVE TO MAKE INCREASING USE OF THESE STATISTICS, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THOSE WE HAVE ARE UP-TO-DATE. WE SHOULD THEREFORE BE GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD LET US HAVE A WEEKLY SITREP GIVING THE NUMBERS OF LEGAL ARRIVALS AND ILLEGALS ARRESTED AND REPATRIATED. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF THESE SITREPS ARRIVED TOGETHER WITH. THE ONES ON VIETNAMESE REFUGEES.
