YOUR TELNO 203: HO CHI MINH CITY UNOFFICIAL OFFICE
1. PLEASE HAND FOLLOWING MESSAGE TO MAIDEEN.
BEGINS.
EVANS SAW ONE OF TUYEN'S ASSISTANTS IN HO CHI MINH CITY
AND EXPLAINED THAT, AS REQUESTED BY VIETNAMESE, WE
INTENDED TO CLOSE OFFICE QUICKLY AND WOULD LIKE THEIR COOPER-
ATION IN ISSUING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE EXIT VISAS TO VIETNAMESE
EMPLOYEES AND FAMILIES. AS A RESULT OF CONVERSATION, CONSULAR
.AUTHORITIES SHOULD REALISE CLEARLY THAT WE LINK THE CLOSING
OF THE OFFICE WITH SAFE DEPARTURE OF PERSONNEL. I AGREE

MUCH FURTHER UNTIL YOU RETURN. I WILL TELEGRAPH STEPHEN
