YOUR TELNO 2003 to EEÓ: VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE
I AM AT A DISADVANTAGE IN COMMENTING ON YOUR TUR AS I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT OPERATION WATCHMAN IS. HOWEVER, YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT MY TIMINS // TIMINGS ARE NOT AT ALL FLEXIBLE.
THERE IS NO FLIGHT TO BANGKOK ON 14 JUNE. I COULD SEEK A MEETING ON 13 JUNE BEFORE LEAVING FOR THE AIRPORT IF THAT WOULD S0// DO.
I WOULD AIM AT SEEING PHUONG HEAD OF EUROPE 2 MFA AS I ALREADY HAVE A CALL ON TRAN QUANG CO, A VICE MINISTER, BOOKED FOR 9 JUNE (WHICH IS PRESUMABLY MUCH TOO EARLY FOR YOUR PURPOSE).
