4. THE UNHCR HAVE SPEEDED UP THEIR INTERVIEWING BUT THEY SEEM TO BE VERY SHORT OF STAFF. WE CONTINUE TO PRESS THEM ON THIS AND AS SOON AS THEY HAVE COMPLETED THESE VERIFICATION INTERVIEWS WE WILL PROVIDE A LIST OF THE NAMES TO HANOI. WE ESTIMATE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THIS LIST BEFORE THE END OF SEPTEMBER. THE ONLY WAY TO ACCELERATE THE PROCESS WOULD BE TO INCREASE THE PRESSURE ON THE UNHCR TO PROVIDE MORE RESOURCES TO HONG KONG AND TO SPEED UP
THE GENEVA END OF THE PROCEDURE.
