Rather than having one ODP program into which we combine all groups of particular concern to the United States. we would propose to divide ODP into three separate subprograms. and to measure mutual performance against specified processing levels and guidelines for each program. These three subprograms would be: first. the Regular Program for spouses and children of American citizens. exU.S. government employees. and ethnic minorities of special humanitarian concern. second. the AsianAmerican Program for AsianAmerican children and close family members included in the same household as the child. and. third. the Political Prisoner Program for current and former political prisoners and specified family members. For the Regular Program. we would plan to process and move from Vietnam up to 10.000 persons. refugees and immigrants. during 1985. Within the 10.000 level. we would inform the Vietnamese that we expect them to grant exit visas to a much greater proportion of persons from our special priority lists. For the other two programs. I have already described the specific new initiatives designed to prompt the processing and movement of these much abused populations.
