Through the ODP. we have a particular concern for three specific groups: for Amerasian children. for Vietnamese citizens who were employed by us until 1975. and for former officials of the South Vietnamese government and military. Since January 1986. Vietnam has ceased cooperation with the ODP program. American working for the UNHCR in Ho Chi Minh City have been summarily ordered out of the country. Because all candidates for American visas must be interviewed personally. Hanoi has. in effect. left the program to dry up. There are. at this moment. between 600 and 1.000 fully processed applicants waiting for Vietnam to finally manifest them on the flight to Bangkok and freedom.
