Thank you for your letter of 10 December about Vietnamese

boat people in Hong Kong.

Enclosures-flag(s).............

I am very conscious of the substantial increase in the

number of boat people in Hong Kong that has taken place

in the past year. I am also well aware of Hong Kong's

exemplary record in offering over the years temporary

refuge to over 130,000 boat people from Vietnam, and of

the splendid way in which the territory has coped with

the recent influx.

Hong Kong can be justly proud of

this.
