Action Taken
YOUR TELNO 976 (NOT TO HONGAID): BBC 'REPORTS ON VIETNAMESE
REFUGEES,
1. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELPFUL AND RAPID COMMENTS ON BBC REPORTS,
TOGETHER WITH THE EXTRACTS IN YOUR TELNO 977.
2. THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A SLIGHT MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT OUR INTEREST
IN BBC REPORTS. WE HAD NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEM NOR DO WE
BELIEVE THEY HAVE GIVEN A MISLEADING IMPRESSION OF HONG KONG'S
POLICY ON BOAT REFUGEES,
3. OUR PRINCIPAL INTEREST IS IN ANY NEWS OR FEATURES STORIES
ON REFUGEES PUT OUT ON THE BBC'S VIETNAMESE OR CHINESE LANGUAGE
SERVICES WHICH MAY GIVE MORE DETAILS THAN THOSE USED IN THE WORLD
SERVICE. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR US OR THE AMERICANS TO MONITOR
THESE VERNACULAR BROADCASTS HERE. GRATEFUL THEREFORE IF BRIEF
VERBATIM EXTRACTS COULD BE TELEGRAPHED WHENEVER APPROPRIATE.
4. RESIDENT CLERK : PLEASE ALSO INFORM PATERSON OR MORGAN (UND).
