VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE
AT 1900 HOURS THE ARRIVAL FIGURE FOR THE DAY WAS 1005. WE FEAR
THAT THERE WILL BE FURTHER ARRIVALS THIS EVENING. ALTHOUGH WE MANAGED TO MOVE 500 PEOPLE FROM TAI A CHAU EARLIER TO DAY THERE
ARE AT PRESENT MORE THAN 2500 PEOPLE AT TAI A CHAU. IF THIS RATE OF ARRIVALS CONTINUES OUR NEW EMERGENCY PLANS WILL BE OVERWHELMED
VERY QUICKLY.
