Applying these conclusions to individual cases, we agree that if the four South Vietnamese arrested on 16/17 June, or Amnesty on their behalf,

have found nowhere to go to, then you need wait no longer, and that provided Lord Goronwy-Roberts's conditions are fulfilled, you may return them as soon

Khmers whose cases are pending, in view of the comments you have received from Phnom Penh (Hamilton's letter of 15 October), we agree that they may be returned, subject to lord Goronwy-Roberts's general

conditions and the willingness of the Khmer Government

to provide satisfactory assurances.
