D.C. DEA Ma. PRESIDENT: We have completed the consultative process mandated by P.L. 96212. the Refugee Act of 1980. with regard to refugee admissions and allocations for FY 1984 as recommended by you and transmitted to us by the U.S. Coordinator for Refugee Affairs. Ambassador H. Eugene Douglas. Your proposal calls for a ceiling of 72.000 refugees to be allocated as follows: up to 50.000 from East Asia. 12.000 from Eastern Europe/Soviet Union. 6.000 from the Near East/South Asia. 3.000 from Africa and 1.000 from Latin America/Caribbean. We are pleased to advise you that we interpose no objections to the numbers and allocations as recommended. We. however. wish to reiterate. as in the past. that these numbers should be considered as celings rather than goals. Furthermore. should there be any need to reallocate refugee numbers between regions during the fiscal year. we would respectfully request that we be consulted on any such reallocation. It would be appreciated if the U.S. Coordinator for Refugees would keep us advised on a monthly basis on the progress of the FY 1984 refugee admissions program. Sincerely.
