COMMENT
5. UNHCR ARE CLEARLY SENSITIVE TO HONG KONG'S DIFFICULTIES, AND TO THE NEED TO PUT PRESSURE FIRST ON THE AMERICANS, WHOSE LEAD WILL BE FOLLOWED BY THE OTHER COUNTRIES OF RESETTLEMENT.
THEY WILL HOWEVER NEED TO BE KEPT UP TO THE MARK. WE SHALL DO
WHAT WE CAN HERE. BUT THE MANILA MEETING IN EARLY MARCH
APPEARS TO BE A GOOD OCCASION TO LOBBY THE AMERICANS, WHETHER IN HONG KONG OR WASHINGTON BEFOREHAND, OR AT THE MEETING ITSELF.
FCO PLEASE PASS SAVINGS.
