WIETNAMESE REFUGEES: DENMARK: YOUR TELNO 252-

WE HAVE NO (NO) OBJECTION TO UKMIS APPROACHING UNHCR. FROM WOODHOUSE'S MEETING WITH MOLDE AND RUBOW IN GENEVA WE FEEL THAT THERE ARE TWO (TWO) APPROACHES HERE. THE FIRST CONCERNS DENMARK'S GENERAL RESETTLEMENT AND IT WAS MADE CLEAR TO WOODHOUSE THAT ANY PROPOSALS TO INCLUDE REFUGEES FROM HONG KONG WOULD HAVE TO COME FROM UNHCR. THEREFORE, UKMIS COULD PRESS, SAY, FELDMANN AND COOPER, TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY MAKE A SPECIFIC, DIRECT APPEAL FOR THE DANES TO ACCEPT REFUGEES FROM HONG KONG.
2. THE SECOND APPROACH CONCERNS FAMILY REUNION CASES. AS YOU ARE AWARE, WE ARE PREPARING, IN CONJUNTION WITH THE UNHCR HERE, LISTS OF FAMILY REUNION CASES, INCLUDING ABOUT 25 IN DENMARK. WE HAVE DEFERRED TO THE UNHCR IN TAKING THE LEAD ON THESE FAMILY REUNION CASES, EXCEPT WHERE WE HAVE BEEN APPROACHED DIRECTLY (AS IN THE RECENT CASES OF FRANCE AND AUSTRIA). IN GENERAL, THE UNHCR HERE WILL MAKE THE APPROACH THROUGH GENEVA, COPYING THE UNHCR OFFICE IN THE RESETTLEMENT COUNTRY. WE WILL INFORM YOU, UKMIS, THE CAPITAL AND, WHERE APPROPRIATE, THE APPROPRIATE HKG OFFICE.
3. WE WILL LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS THE UNHCR HERE HAS PRODUCED THE
LIST OF FAMILY REUNION CASES IN DENMARK.
