INFO PRIORITY PEKING (FOR AMBASSADOR)
?
PERSONAL FOR GOVERNOR FROM CORTAZZI,
1.
See 8
MINISTERS AGREE THAT YOUR VISIT SHOULD TAKE PLACE IN THE WEEK BEGINNING 11 JUNE, THE MOST CONVENIENT DAYS WOULD PROBABLY BE THURSDAY 14 OR FRIDAY 15 JUNE WHEN BOTH THE SECRETARY OF STATE AND THE LORD PRIVY SEAL WOULD ON PRESENT PLANS BE AVAILABLE.
2. AS YOU WILL KNOW FROM THE TELEGRAMS, WE ARE NOW TAKING A NUMBER OF DIPLOMATIC INITIATIVES DESIGNED TO PUT PRESSURE ON THE VIETNAMESE GOVERNMENT AND PRODUCE MORE RESETTLEMENT PLACES FOR REFUGEES FROM VIETNAM. WE WILL BE EXPLORING OTHER POSSIBLE WAYS OF PROVIDING HELP BUT YOU ARE RIGHT IN ASSUMING THAT THE COVERNMENT ARE VERY UNLIKELY TO BE ABLE TO TAKE SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF REFUGEES FROM HONG KONG IN ADDITION TO THE PREVIOUSLY AGREED QUOTA AND THOSE FROM
THE SIBONGA,
3. AS REGARDS IMMIGRATION FROM, CHINA, WE ARE URGENTLY PURSUING THE QUESTION OF REINFORCEMENT FOR THE GARRISON. WE ASSUME FROM PARAGRAPH 2A OF YOUR TELNO 675 THAT ADDITIONAL NAVAL HELP WOULD
ALSO BE WELCOME.
