4. CRATEFUL FOR YOUR VISWS ON HOW ANY ARRANGEMENT COULD BEST BE FITTED INTO BRITISH PROCEDURES FOR PROCESSING IMMIGRANTS FOR PERMANENT SETTLEMENT JOINING RELATIVES. I PRESUME THAT THESE PEOPLE WOULD FALL OUTSIDE THE QUOTA FOR VIETNAMESE REFUGEES AS THEY WOULD IN FACT BE IMMIGRANTS NOT REFUGEES, SOME IDEA OF HOW MANY WE COULD TAKE WOULD HELP UNHOR IN THEIR EFFORTS TO ENGURE THE ORDERLY FLOW WHICH WE SUPPORT.
5. MY TELMO 29 TO FCO: DE HAAN SAID THAT THE HIGH COMMISSIONER HAD DEEN INCONTACT WITH CARDINAL VILLOT AT THE HOLY SEE TWO WEEKS AGO AND
WITH THE LATTER'S REPRESENTAIVE IN GENEVA

DE HAAN SAID THAT UNHCR DOES NOT REALLY SEE THE NEED FOR AN ICEM OFFICE IN TAIWAN AS THE EXISTING CATHOLIC ORGAN-
ISATIONS (SEE PARA 2 OF MY TELNO $2. OF 16 JANUARY TO HONG- KONG) HAD COPED ADEQUATELY WITH THE SMALL FLOW LAST YEAR.
7.
UNHCR HAVE INFORMED US THAT LUXEMBOURG HAS OFFERED 50 PLACES FOR VIETNAMESE REFUGEES WHICH UNHCR ARE DIVIDING EQUALLY BETWEEN HONG KONG AND MALAYSIA.
FCO PLEASE PASS TO ALL SAVING ADDRESSEES
