2. LYSCOM HAS SINCE CONTACTED FRAU GUENTHER, MINISTRY OFFICIAL RESPONSIBLE FOR VIETNAMESE REFUGEES, AND HAS ADVISED ME OF HER REACTION AS FOLLOWS:
''FRAU GUENTHER SAID THAT THE GERMANS WERE NOT AWARE OF THE FIGURE
OF 88 CASES OF REFUGEES WITH CLOSE FAMILY TIES (MENTIONED IN MISS WALKER'S LETTER OF 14 NOVEMBER TO LEEKS). THE UNHCR HAD ORIGINALLY GIVEN THE GERMANS A LIST OF 788 WITH TIES IN THE FRG AFTER DISCUSSIONS WITH THE LAENDER, THE GERMANS HAD AGREED TOONSIDER 32 WITH CLOSE FAMILY TIES AND THE GERMAN CONSUL-GENERAL IN HG KONG HAD BEEN INFORMED.
OF THESE 32, SOME HAVE APPARENTLY READY LEFT FOR THIRD COUNTRIES OR HAVE MARRIED, WHICH DISQUALIFIES TH. THERE ARE NOW ONLY 1 CASES LEFT. 4 OF THESE HAD ALREADY CEIVED PERMISSION TO SETTLE IN THE FRG. THE GERMAN AUTHORITIES WERE STILL WAITING FOR INFORMATION AND/OR DOCUMENTATION FROM THE
OTHER W SO THAT THEIR APPLICATIONS COULD BE PROCESSED."
