VIETNAMESE REFUGEES IN HONG KONG

1.

THANK YOU FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS IN YOUR TELNO 256. AS A FIRST

STEP I TOOK ACTION TODAY WITH BEAN IN REFUGEE ADMISSIONS PROGRAMME

DIVISION IN STATE, AND WITH THE CHINA DESK. I LEFT WITH EACH AN INFORMAL NOTE, DRAWN FROM THE POINTS IN YOUR TELEGRAM AND

ADDING SOME FROM HONG KONG TELNO 38 TO WASHINGTON LAST

DECEMBER.
