VIETNAMESE REFUGEES : U.K RESETTLEMENT FROM HONG KONG.

1. UNHCR HERE WILL ASK THAT A FILM UNIT ATTACHED TO THEIR H.Q

IN GENEVA SHOULD MAKE A FILM ABOUT RESETTLEMENT IN THE U.K FOR SHOWING IN HONG KONG REFUGEE CAMPS,

2. I SAID THAT U.K GOVERNMENT WOULD BE GLAD TO FACILITATE INTRODUCTIONS TO VOLUNTARY BODIES AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES. YOU MAY THEREFORE GET AN APPROACH FROM HEIDLER.

3. THE HONG KONG ADMINISTRATION HAVE SUGGESTED THAT COLOURED SLIDES MIGHT BE MORE PRACTICABLE IN CAMP CONDITIONS. BIRT AND MRS MORLEY FLETCHER AGREE. COULD COI DO THIS ADDITIONAL TO THE FILM IF THAT MATERIALIZES ? INFORMATION ABOUT LIFE IN THE U.K IS VALUABLE TO OUR SELECTION TEAM.
