VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE: MR MAUDE'S VISIT

1.

MR MAUDE IS KEEN THAT HIS VISIT TO AN EXHIBITION OF WEAPONS TAKEN FROM THE VBP CAMPS SHOULD RECEIVE GOOD PUBLICITY. HE WOULD ALSO LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET CSD, POLICE AND OTHER CAMP MANAGEMENT STAFF TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT THEIR WORK. ONE WAY TO ACHIEVE THIS MIGHT BE TO SET UP THE EXHIBITION AT CSD HEADQUARTERS, AND TO COMBINE HIS VISIT THERE WITH THE MEETING WITH CAMP MANAGEMENT STAFF. ALTERNATIVELY, IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO COMBINE ALL THESE ELEMENTS WITH THE VISIT TO A CAMP, THEN THIS MIGHT PROVE EASIER TO FIT INTO THE PROGRAMME. GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD ENSURE THAT EITHER WAY, THERE IS ADEQUATE TIME FOR HIM TO COVER ALL THESE ASPECTS. GRATEFUL TO KNOW WHICH CAMP MR MAUDE

WILL VISIT.
