Q DIST ?

YOUR TELNO 21 TO PEKING: VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE: BORDER CROSSERS

AND COAST HOPPERS

1 AT A RECENT INFORMAL MEETING WITH THE CHINESE AMBASSADOR, MR GILLMORE AGREED THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT WE PASS ON TO THE

CHINESE AUTHORITIES AS MUCH INFORMATION AS WE HAVE A ABOUT BORDER CROSSERS AND COAST HOPPERS. WE FEEL IT MAY BE WORTH USING THE AMBASSADOR AS AN ADDITIONAL CHANNEL FOR THE INFORMATION WHICH PA HANDED OVER TO JI SHAOXIANG ON 22 JANUARY. GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD LET US HAVE A COPY OF THAT PACKAGE, AND OF ANY SUBSEQUENT AND FUTURE SUCH PACKAGES, BY BAG, SO THAT WE CAN PASS THEM ON HERE.
