1. PARA 18 OF MY TELNO 27. I AM SENDING BY TODAY'S BAG THE UNHCR PAPER ON THE SPECIAL PROCESSING CENTRE FOR SOUTH EAST ASIA. THIS ASKS SEVERAL QUESTIONS SUCH AS HOW BIG THE CENTRE SHOULD BE, FOR WHOM IT SHOULD BE INTENDED (EG FUTURE BOAT PEOPLE ONLY OR ALL PRESENT CASES INCLUDING LAND REFUGEES), WHO SHOULD EXERCISE
JURISDICTION AND SUPPLY STAFF, AND WHENTER GOVERNMENTS COULD GUARANTEE COSTS AND/OR EVENTUAL RESETTLEMT. I SHOULD WELCOME
ANSWERS BY TELECRAM.

2. THE DEPUTY HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEES DE HAAN, CALLED ON ME TODAY. HE EXPECTS TO GO TO HANOI NEXT MONTH TO DISCUSS FAMILY

ESTIMATE WAS THAT SOME 12,090 RELATIVES OF EXISTING REFUGEES WERE INVOLVED (RELATIVES OF PEOPLE OTHER THAN REFUGEES ARE OUTSIDE UNHCR'S MANDATE). THE MAJORITY WOULD PROBABLY WISH TO GO TO THE US, FRANCE, AUSTRALIA, AND CABADA BUT HE WONDERED WHETHER WE
KNEW OF MANY WISHING TO JOIN RELATIVES IN THE UK.
