7. STRATEGY AFTER RETURN OF FIRST GROUP OF NON-VOLUNTEERS

Should we move to second batch of non-volunteers?

(in which case we are obliged by 26 June agreement with Vietnamese to return to negotiations on reintegration

assistance)

Or should we swing our effort into getting volunteers back, before proceeding with next non-voluntary flight?

(in which case need to concentrate on achieving realistic rate of

flow back into Vietnam.)
