Please refer to the attached copy of a letter from
Mr. Gorham, the Head of Chancery in Helsinki, to the South East Asian Department and copied to us. This Finnish move to accept more boat refugees is welcome to us, and we should like to see the Finns' attention drawn as early as possible to the particular problems that Hong Kong faces in regard to Vietnamese boat people. This is certainly the first indication we have had here that the Finns might be about to offer any more resettlement places.

Could you please take this up with SEAD on my behalf, perhaps drawing for background from our telegram number 1065 of 17 September, updated by number 1176 of 14 October of both attached?
