GENERAL OF THE FRENCH FOREIGN MINISTRY, AT A MEETING ON 30 OCTOBER. M. ROSS INITIALLY POINTED OUT THE INTEGRATION
DIFFICULTIES WHICH VIETNAMESE FROM HONG KONG WERE LIKELY TO FACE

REFUGEES IN HONG KONG WITH FRENCH CONNECTIONS, HE SAID THAT IF
THERE WERE REFUGEES WHO WERE FRANCOPHONE AND HAD FAMILY
CONNECTIONS IN FRANCE, THEN IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT THEIR CASES

WE WISH TO PROVIDE THE FRENCH WITH BRIEF INFORMATION
ABOUT THE REFUGEES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, AND TO FOLLOW THIS UP
WITH A DETAILED LIST OF NAMES. GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD THEREFORE
CONFIRM DESKBY 071200Z THAT THE FIGURES GIVEN IN TUR OF 46 FRENCH
SPEAKERS AND 90 REFUGEES WITH CLOSE FAMILY IN FRANCE ARE STILL
CORRECT. DO ANY OF THE REFUGEES WITH FAMILY CONNECTIONS ALSO
