PERSONAL FOR PAUL, HKD, FROM GOVERNOR
YOUR TELNO 760 TO WASHINGTON:
VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE: CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEE MEETING IN GENEVA
THE US CONTINGENT OFFER OF ADDITIONAL RESETTLEMENT PLACES (PARA 10 OF TUR) RAISES CLEAR QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT MORE HMG MIGHT BE ABLE
TO OFFER AT THE GENEVA CONFERENCE IN JUNE. IT SEEMS CLEAR THAT HMG
WILL NEED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER SOMETHING:
(A) TO MEET PRESSURE FROM THE MAIN RESETTLEMENT COUNTRIES, AND
(B) TO SATISFY THE POLITICAL DIMENSION HERE.
2. I WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR VIEWS ON THE PROSPECTS OF
SECURING A FURTHER UK COMMITMENT (EVEN ON A CONTINGENCY BASIS BEFORE ICIR MEETS IN JUNE).
