Action Taken

YRTELNO 763 AND WASHINGTON TELNO 1057: INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT: U.S. IMMIGRATION RULES PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

WE SHARE THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN TUR FROM WASHINGTON. ALTHOUGH THE MORRISON BILL AND FRANK AMENDMENT MIGHT HAVE ONLY LIMITED ADVANTAGES, THEY CERTAINLY DO NOT HAVE ANY DISADVANTAGES. MOREOVER, THEY SERVE USEFUL PR PURPOSES SINCE THE U.S. CONGRESS IS SEEN TO BE TAKING POSITIVE MEASURE TO ENABLE HONG KONG PEOPLE NOT TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY.
