Vietnamese Boat People in Hong Kong: Coast Hopping

The Secretary of State was grateful for your submission of 21 April. He has further amended the draft message to the Chinese Foreign Minister. This can now issue.

You will see that the Secretary of State has square-bracketed part of the first sentence of the last paragraph. May I leave it to you to judge whether this part of the sentence would be better left in or out?

24 April 1989
