FROM WOODHOUSE, SECURITY BRANCH
YOUR TELNOS B 222 AND B 223 : VIETNAMESE REFUGEES: WEST GERMANY.
WE HAVE NOT (NOT) RECEIVED ANY LISTS FROM THE UNHCR HERE
REGARDING WEST GERMANY. THEY HAVE INFORMED US THAT THE GERMAN AUTHORITIES SOUGHT A ONCE-AND-FOR-ALL INTAKE OF 300 REFUGEES FROM THE REGION IN 1984, OF WHOM ABOUT 30 WERE FROM HONG KONG. THESE
CASES WERE PASSED TO THE GERMANS IN 1984. THEY AGREED TO CONSIDER
32 FROM HONG KONG BUT, DUE TO A DELAY IN CONSIDERING THESE CASES, SOME WERE RESETTLED BY OTHER COUNTRIES AND SOME MARRIED (WHICH
DISQUALIFIED THEM). THE UNHCR NOW CONFIRMS THAT THERE ARE ABOUT
18 CASES REMAINING AND WE ASSUME THAT THESE ARE THE 16 CASES
MENTIONED IN PARA 6 OF BONN'S TELNO 133.
2. WE HAVE ASKED THE UNHCR TO UNTANGLE THIS MATTER, BUT THIS WILL TAKE TIME. IN ANY EVENT, THERE WILL BE MORE REFUGEES WHO HAVE
ARRIVED SINCE 1984 WHO HAVE RELATIVES IN WEST GERMANY. THE UNHCR HERE
ADVISES THAT THERE MAY BE 20 WITH CLOSE LINKS AND 53 WITH EXTENDED
LINKS. AS SOON AS WE HAVE THE DETAILS, WE WILL PASS THEM TO YOU.
