VIETNAMESE: BORDER-CROSSERS AND COAST-HOPPERS

Thank you for your letter PA SCR 5/4841/88 of 23 January and for the copy of your letter of 23 January to Qian Guoping.

1.

2.

I passed copies of the enclosures to both letters to Wang Jianxing of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, MFA on 7 February.

[NEITHER

TO HKD]

3. As requested, I enclose a further copy of the enclosures to both letters. I wonder if it would be possible, in future, to let us have two sets of any bulky material you wish us to pass to the Chinese: as you know, our photocopying facilities here are particularly rudimentary. Photocopying bulky documents is extremely time-consuming and tends to cause paralysis (both to the machine and to the person using it!).

wn,

Jenni
