YOUR TELNO 1567: VIETNAMESE REFUGEES: INVOLUNTARY REPATRIATION
TUR CROSSED WITH OUR TELNO 947. IN ADDITION TO THE
ACTION PROPOSED IN PARA 2 OF OUR TUR, WE WOULD OF COURSE BE READY
TO TAKE OUR REPRESENTATIONS TO A HIGHER LEVEL IF THIS SEEMED
APPROPRIATE.
2.
HMA HANOI CALLED ON THE DEPARTMENT YESTERDAY AS PROPOSED
IN YOUR TELELETTER OF 6 MAY. WHAT HE HAD TO TELL US ABOUT
DEVELOPMENTS IN HANOI DID NOT/NOT GIVE US MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT TO
THINK THAT WE COULD ASSEMBLE A CASE FOR REOPENING THE QUESTION OF
INVOLUNTARY REPATRIATION. OUR TELNO 685 RECORDED THE SECRETARY
OF STATE'S DECISION ON THE MATTER, AND THE FACTORS THAT HE TOOK
INTO ACCOUNT DO NOT SEEM TO HAVE GREATLY EVOLVED. THERE CAN BE
NO DOUBT THAT SENSITIVITIES HERE WOULD REMAIN VERY STRONG.
3.
WE WILL HOWEVER CONSIDER VERY CAREFULLY THE EXCHANGES
RECORDED IN YOUR TUR, AND SHALL REVERT TO YOU IN DUE COURSE.
