GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD ALSO RAISE WITH HIM THE INCREASED NUMBER OF
ARRIVALS IN HONG KONG IN LATE 1988 (HONG KONG TELNOS 48 AND 90). ALTHOUGH ARRIVALS HAVE DROPPED AGAIN IN JANUARY, WE NEED TO PRESS THE VIETNAMESE ON THIS TO ENSURE, SO FAR AS WE CAN, THAT THEY TAKE EFFECTIVE ACTION TO STOP DEPARTURES BY BOAT. SUCH ACTION MAY
NEED TO BE FURTHER STEPPED UP AS WE APPROACH THE DEPARTURE SEASON.
