VIETNAMESE REFUGEES : FRENCH FAMILY REUNION CASES.

FURTHER TO OUR TELNO 2459, I AM AFRAID THAT IT HAS PROVED MORE DIFFICULT THAN I ENVISAGED TO OBTAIN THE LISTS FROM THE UNHCR. APART FROM THE FACT THAT THE TOTALS HAVE CHANGED EVERY TIME WE RECEIVED A LIST, THEY HAVE BEEN UNSUITABLE. THE FIRST WAS A BUNDLE OF COMPUTER PRINTOUT SHOWING ALL (ALL) REFUGEES WITH ALL (ALL) THEIR BIO-DATA AND WOULD HAVE REQUIRED A DETAILED SEARCH TO FIND

THOSE OF INTEREST TO THE FRENCH. THE SECOND WAS A LIST OF CASE

UMBERS, BOAT NUMBERS AND NAMES WITH NO (NO) INDICATION OF FAMILY

RELATIONSHIP.

2. I HAVE WRITTEN TO THE FRENCH C.G. HERE APOLOGISING FOR THE

DELAY AND HAVE SPOKEN TO THE UNHCR CHARGE (KAPIM) TO EXPIDITE

MATTERS. I HOPE TO BE IN A POSITION TO FORWARD SOMETHING NEXT WEEK.
