TELELETTER
FROM: D.G. JEAFFRESON, SECRETARY FOR SECURITY, HONG KONG.
FILE REF: SRD 406/3/C
DATED:
30 DECEMBER 1983
FOLLOWING FOR: R.D. CLIFT, (HONG KONG DEPARTMENT, FCO.
VIETNAMESE REFUGEES : HONG KONG
THE SUPPOSITION IN PARA. 4 OF YOUR TELELETTER IS QUITE CORRECT. 188 BECAUSE UNHCR WOULD HAVE A PART TO PLAY IN WHAT WE ARE LIKELY TO BE PROPOSING, WE HAD TO SOUND OUT THEIR REPRESENTATIVE IN HONG KONG INFORMALLY ON WHETHER WE HAD GOT THEIR SIDE OF IT RIGHT (AND SHE HAD BEEN PRESENT AT THE MEETINGS WITH PIKE AND SIMINGTON ANYWAY). FOR HER SUBSEQUENTLY TO HAVE REPORTED IT ALL BACK TO GENEVA WHEN SHE KNEW WE WERE STILL TRYING TO PUT OUR ACT TOGETHER WAS NAUGHTY,
BUT I SUPPOSE UNDERSTANDABLE.
2. THE DELAY IN SENDING YOU OUR FORMAL PROPOSALS IS CAUSED BY THE NEED FOR US FIRST TO RESOLVE POINTS OF PRACTICAL DETAIL HERE.
I HOPE TO HAVE THEM WITH YOU EARLY IN 1984.
3. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AS WELL.
SIGNED: D.G. JEAFFRESON
