MIPT: VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE
1. IN VIEW OF THE SITUATION REPORTED IN MIPT I RECOMMEND THAT HMA
HANOI BE ASKED TO MAKE REPRESENTATIONS TO THE VIETNAMESE AUTHORITIES ABOUT THE WORSENING SITUATION AND TO REQUEST THAT THEY
TAKE POSITIVE ACTION TO STEM THE OUTFLOW. I AM NOT HOPEFUL THAT
SUCH REPRESENTATIONS WILL HAVE ANY SIGNIFICANT EFFECT. BUT
THE SITUATION IS BECOMING SUFFICIENTLY SERIOUS TO LEAVE NO AVENUE
UNEXPLORED. FURTHERMORE, IT WOULD BE USEFUL IF HMA HANOI COULD SAY THAT HE HAD MADE SUCH REPRESENTATIONS WHEN HE COMES HERE IN JUNE.
