YOUR TELNO 188: MEETING WITH NGUYEN CO THACH
1.
I AGREE THAT A MEETING WITH THACH WOULD BE USEFUL,
ESPECIALLY
AS I WILL HAVE JUST BEEN IN HONG KONG AND SEEN AT FIRST HAND THE
PROBLEMS CAUSED BY THE RECENT INFLUX OF BOAT PEOPLE.
2.
HOWEVER, I WILL ONLY BE IN NEW YORK FOR THE MORNING OF 7 JUNE
AND MY SCHEDULE IS ALREADY TIGHT. YOU SHOULD THEREFORE SUGGEST
TO THE VIETNAMESE THAT THEY INSTRUCT THEIR MISSION IN NEW YORK TO
LIAISE WITH UKMIS TO FIND A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.
