REGARDING FTB-28.
1. COUNSELLOR CHIN TOGETHER WITH FIRST SECRETARY MOON MET MR DURAND, CHIEF OF ICRC MISSION, AT THE IMPERIAL HOTEL AT 2 p.m. TODAY (FEBRUARY 3 ). AT THIS MEETING, COUNSELLOR CHIN POINTED OUT THAT THE JRC WAS KEEPING SECRET NOT ONLY NAMES OF "REGISTRANTS" BUT ALSO NAMES OF THOSE WHO HAD ALREADY BEEN DEPORTED TO NORTHERN PART OF KOREA AND RECENTLY EVEN THE NUMBER OF "REGISTRANTS", AND ASKED DURAND, ACCORDING TO GOVERNMENT CABLE INSTRUCTION UNDER-REFERENCE, WHETHER THIS "KEEP - EVERYTHING —SECRET" POLICY WAS TAKEN BY THE JRC WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF ICRC MISSION. IN REPLY, DURAND STATED THAT HE COULD NOT GIVE DIRECT ANSWER TO US BUT HE WOULD LOOK INTO THE MATTER WITH JRC AND THEN, IF NECESSARY, WOULD STUDY THE MATTER BY REFERING IT TO THE COMMITTEE IN GENEVA. IN THIS CONNECTION, ADMITTING THE COMPLEXITY OF THE DEPORTATION ISSUE, DURAND REPEATEDLY SAID THAT ICRC ROLE WAS VERY LIMITED ONE.
2. TAKING THIS OPPORTUNITY, COUNSELLOR CHIN AGAIN URGED THAT THE ICRC SHOULD WITHDRAW FROM THIS POLITICAL SCHEME OF DEPORTATION
(THE END)
