1. THE REASON UNPCR HAVE NOT YET CONTACTED BELIZE MINISTER OF

HOME AFFAIRS IS THAT WE WERE WAITING FOR CONFIRMATION OF THE

PHRASE QUOTE PROVIDING YOU AGREE UNQUOTE IN PARA 1 OF DELMOPAN TELNO 98 TO CO. AS SOON AS YOU CONFIRM THIS WE

SHALL INVITE UNHCR TO CONTACT MR ROGERS,

2. WE HAVE TOLD UNHOR INFORMALLY WHAT IS IN THE WIND. THEY SAY

THAT SO FAR THERE IS NO PRO/1SION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.

BUT THEY THINK THAT AID TO BELIZE MAY BE JUST THE SORT OF THING

ENVISAGED IN THE US DOLLARS 393 MILLION FUND PROPOSED BY

VICE PRESIDENT MONDALE IN PIS SPEECH TO THE REFUGEE MEETING (Y TELNO 355, NOT TO BELMOPAN) FOR WHICH MONDALE SAIDHE WOULD

SEEK A US DOLLARS 23 MILLION US CONTRIBUTION FROM CONGRESS, IT

MICHT DE POSSIBLE TO ASK THE US TO MAKE AN ADVANCE PAYMENT TO

BELIZE FROM THIS CONTRIBUTION.

3. MEANWHILE UNFOR'S ROLE OULD BE COM IMED TO ADVICE ON BUILDING UP REČEPTION HAJUINERY AND PREPARING A PLAN FOR

LOCAL RESETTLEMENT. IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO KNOW

WHETHER THE IDEA IS TO ACHIEVE URBAN OR AGRICULTURAL

INTEGRATION SINCE THE TECHAT VES FOR EACH ARE VERY DIFFERENT..
