THE OPERATION OF THE SCREENING PROGRAM, AND SUBSEQUENT RESETTLEMENT OF THOSE SCREENED-IN, SHOULD NOT OFFER UNFAIR ADVANTAGE TO THOSE WHO FLEE CLANDESTINELY RATHER THAN DEPART THROUGH THE ORDERLY DEPARTURE PROGRAM (ODP). AS SUCH, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO CONSIDER THE IMPOSITION OF A UNIFORM WAITING PERIOD BEFORE RESETTLEMENT FOR THE SCREENED-IN. THE DETERRENT EFFECT OF SUCH A POLICY WOULD HAVE TO BE WEIGHED AGAINST THE ADDITIONAL HARDSHIP IMPOSED ON DETAINED INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY HAVE BEEN DENIED BY THE VIETNAMESE EXPEDITIOUS ACCESS TO ODP, AND THE INITIAL INCREASE IN HOST COUNTRY REFUGEE POPULATIONS UNTIL THE SCREENED-IN ARE MADE AVAILABLE FOR RESETTLEMENT.

THE U.S. BELIEVES THAT ALL SCREENED-IN POPULATIONS SHOULD BE HUMANELY SHELTERED IN FIRST ASYLUM COUNTRIES UNTIL THEY CAN BE PROCESSED FOR RESETTLEMENT.

THE U.S. ACCEPTS THAT THE EVENTUAL RETURN TO COUNTRY OF ORIGIN OF THOSE DETERMINED TO BE NON-REFUGEES SHOULD BE PART OF THE PLAN TO IMPLEMENT A SCREENING PROGRAM. THE U.S. COULD ACCEPT THE REPATRIATION TO VIETNAM OF THOSE DETERMINED TO BE NON-REFUGEES IF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS
COULD BE MET:
