I met for 45 minutes with three representatives of the Department. We discussed at some length various problems relating to foreign policy considerations and other security aspects of the situation. The Departments spokesmen were quite encouraging about the prospects for establishing refugee offices in the AsiaPacific area. I am happy that the Department is now fully cognizant of the implications of its partial implementation of the Immigration Reform Act. and will conduct a fullscale reappraisal of opening refugee offices in Asia and the Pacific. I am hopeful that this will be done as expeditiously as possible. After the Department has had a chance to review the entire picture. I am very hopeful that it will fully implement the overriding policy of complete elimination of race discrimination from our basic immigration statute.
