YOUR TELNO 3635 TO FCO: VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE
1.
THE PATTERN HERE SEEMS SIMILAR TO THAT REPORTED IN SINGAPORE TELNO U/N OF 1 OCTOBER. UNHCR SAY 284 VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE ARRIVED DURING SEPTEMBER, THE MAJORITY DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THE MONTH. THIS COMPARES TO 92 IN SEPTEMBER 1987 AND 82 IN SEPTEMBER 1986.
2.
ALTHOUGH IT IS USUAL FOR NUMBERS TO RISE AFTER THE MONSOON SEASON IN VIETNAM THIS SEPTEMBER'S FIGURE IS TRIPLE THAT OF LAST
YEAR.
