207) YOUR TELNO 507 TO BONN: VIETNAMESE REFUGEES IN HONG KONG

1. HEAD FO CHANCERY HAS APPOINTMENT TO RAISE THIS WITH DIRECTOR

OF IMMIGRATION ON 02 OCT. I EXPECT LUXEMBOURG REACTION TO BE

VERY CAUTIOUS. JUST OVER A QUARTER OF LUXEMBOURG'S POPULATION

CONSISTS OF IMMIGRANTS, BUT THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY ARE EUROPEAN AND CATHOLIC. OTHERS ARE NOT EASILY ADMITTED.

2. I DO NOT EXCLUDE ACCEPTANCE OF A FEW FAMILIES AS A TOKEN.

IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HAVE CONFIRMATION THAT FRANCOPHONE CATHOLICS ARE A POSSIBILITY (AND ANY AVAILABLE BACKGROUND ON THE FIVE LUXEMBOURG HAS ALREADY TAKEN, ACCORDING TO YTUR).

3. CROWN PRINCE HENRI AND PRIME MINISTER SANTER ARE TO SPEND
