(бза

1. IT IS CLEAR FROM TUR AND KYLE'S LETTER OF 23 SEPTEMBER TO

STITT SEAD THAT US CONSIDERATION OF THEIR FUTURE PROGRAMME AT

LEAST AS `CONCERNS HONG KONG, IS STILL AT A FORMATIVE STAGE.

GRATEFUL THEREFORE IF YOU WOULD TAKE WHATEVER ACTION YOU THINK

APPROPRIATE TO ADVANCE HONG KONG'S CASE AS OUTLINED IN TUR.

WE HOPE IN PARTICULAR THAT US GOVERNMENT WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE

FULL ALLOWANCE FOR THE OUTSTANDINGLY HUMANE POLICY THAT HONG KONG

HAS FROM THE BEGINNING ADOPTED TOWARDS VIETNAMESE REFUGEES.
