MOST OF THEM CHILDREN. AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE NO OFFICIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE AUTHORITIES THERE. IN THIS SITUATION, WHICH GETS WORSE, EACH DAY WITH THE EXODUS FROM VIETNAM, I WOULD GREATLY VALUE YOUR ADVICE AND HELP.
WE ARE APPEALING PUBLICLY FOR TAIWAN TO SHOW THE HUMANITY ALREADY EXTENDED BY MANY ASIAN NATIONS AND ACCEPT A FAIR PROPORTION OF REFUGEES. IT WOULD HELP TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE AN OPENING FOR REINFORCE ING THIS WITH A PRIVATE APPEAL TO THE TAIWAN AUTHORITIES TO RESPOND TO WORLD CONCERN.
I WOULD WELCOME YOUR URGENT VIEWS AND ANY REPRESENTATIONS TO TAIWAN YOU ARE ABLE TO MAKE.
YOURS SINCERELY
