VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE: REPATRIATION
ALTHOUGH AFTER INITIAL ACCEPTANCE BY THE VIETNAMESE AUTHORITIES THERE IS NO OBLIGATION UNDER THE JUNE AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE A MORE SPECIFIC LIST OF RETURNEES IN ADVANCE OF DEPARTURE, HANOI MIGHT FIND IT HELPFUL TO HAVE A PROVISIONAL LIST. SUBJECT TO YOU VIEWS, WE SHALL LET HANOI HAVE A PROVISIONAL LIST OF 56 NAMES. ALL HAVE BEEN CLEARED FOR RETURN. IT SHOULD BE MADE CLEAR, HOWEVER, THAT THERE MIGHT STILL BE CHANGES AND THAT THE FINAL LIST WILL BE HANDED OVER ON ARRIVAL IN HANOI.
