1. You asked in your minute of 16 September for briefing on
Hong Kong for your
your visit to Washington. I submit a short
checklist of Hong Kong points to make covering the JLG and
Vietnamese refugees.
2.
On Vietnamese refugees, the main point to raise with
the Americans
resettlement. The Home Office White Paper
is
in response to the SCORRI report will be published on 26
September.
We shall be instructing the Embassy in
Washington to approach the Americans immediately after
publication to press them to take additional numbers of
refugees from Hong Kong. We have also briefed the Secretary
of State to raise the matter when he meets Mr Shultz in New
York on 26 September. In addition, we hope that Mr
Waddington will have raised the matter during his visit to
Washington on 19/20 September, when he was due to meet Ambassador Douglas, US Coordinator for Refugee Affairs, and
Mrurcell, Director of the Bureau for Refugee programmes at
the State Department. It would be useful if you could also
raise the subject during your own visit.
