ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

1.

I attach copies of a letter and an article from the China Post of 19 December 1980 concerned with the treatment of illegal immigrants.

2. We will, of course, make it clear in our reply that these people are not refugees. I should, however, be grateful for your comments on the more detailed points raised in the letter.
