1. WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT UNHCR GENEVA MAY NOT BE
GETTING A COMPLETE PICTURE OF THE REFUGEES SITUATION HERE. THEY MAY BE RECEIVING ONLY FIGURES FOR THOSE REFUGEES UNDER UNHCR CARE.
AT PRESENT, BOTH BECAUSE OF ACCOMMODATION PROBLEMS AND THE
SLOWNESS OF UNHCR PROCESSING, THOSE UNDER UNHCR CARE ARE ONLY
A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL. THE U.S. CONSULATE GENERAL
HERE HAS RECEIVED A REPORT FROM GENEVA WHICH SHOWS NIL ARRIVALS
IN HONG KONG DURING MARCH. IN FACT 3,114 ARRIVED DURING THIS
PERIOD.
2. PROVIDING YOU SEE NO OBJECTION, GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD PASS
TO UNHCR THE FIGURES IN MY TUR AND KEEP THEM IN TOUCH WITH THE
SITUATION AS THESE FIGURES ARE UPDATED. GRATEFUL ALSO TO KNOW
IF IT IS CORRECT THAT UNHCR ARE ONLY RECEIVING FIGURES FOR
THOSE DIRECTLY UNDER THEIR CARE.
