IF HARTLING DOES SUCCEED IN GETTING THE AMERICANS TO TAKE A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF REFUGEES FROM HONG KONG IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE, THIS WOULD PRESUMABLY FACILITATE THE COURSES OF ACTION DISCUSSED IN HONG KONG TELNO 39. I WOULD HOPE THAT ANY ARRANGEMENTS MADE COULD INCLUDE ACCEPTANCE IN SOME FORM OF THE FRANKFURT OFFER.
