'VIETNAMESE REFUGEES

I attach a copy of Peking Telno 38 to Hong Kong of 10 June. Please note that HKGD take the lead on this topic. It is a different problem from that of 'Vietnamese Refugees' and therefore does not merit the Boat People Distribution. A more appropriate distribution for this, and similar telegrams in the future, would

be:-
