1. I AM SORRY THAT YOUR TELNO 155 REMAINED WITHOUT ANSWER. FOLLOWING DISCUSSIONS WITH BOTH THE CONSULAR DEPARTMENT AND THE UNHCR OFFICE HERE, IT IS CLEAR THAT IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE TO IRON OUT THE FLOW IT CAN ONLY BE DONE BY THE UNHCR. THE LATTER HAVE AGREED TO DO WHATEVER IS POSSIBLE. I SHALL RAISE THE MATTER AGAIN AFTER A SUITABLE INTERVAL HERE AND ALSO WITH THE UNHCR REPRESENTATIVE IN HO CHI MINH CITY NEXT WEEK IF POSSIBLE.
