A
1.
We shall need to inform Hong Kong and Hanoi of Ministers' decision about the timing of the first non voluntary repatriation
operation.
2. I submit a draft telegram for this purpose. It draws on
Mr Powell's letter of 1 November. The telegram might issue, amended
as appropriate, after Mr Maude has considered the matter further
after the meeting he proposes to hold on 3 November.
