MY SAVING TELNOS 1 AND 2 TO BONN:

1.

VIETNAMESE REFUGEES IN HONG KONG

ན

For Madrid: We are of course aware of the helpful Spanish attitude described in your telegram No 29. You may wish to take an opportunity to use the information in the Saving TURs to underline to the Spaniards how grateful we are for their help in dealing with a real problem.

2. For Ottawa: Subject to your views, we think it would be sensible to await the outcome of the general election before you make further representations on behalf of Hong Kong.

3. For Wellington: If you think it would be appropriate, please take action as outlined in my Saving telegram No 1 to Bonn.
