Urges the President to: (1) call on the Government of the United Kingdom to reject the policy of involuntary repatriation of Vietnamese boat people and allow those who have been denied refugee status by the screening program supervised by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to remain temporarily in Hong Kong, pending the conclusion of negotiations over alternative measures to deal with the nonrefugee Vietnamese population; (2) commend the first asylum countries for their longstanding commitment to solving the Indochinese refugee situation and urge such countries to reject proposals to turn away refugee boats; (3) reaffirm U.S. opposition to involuntary repatriation of Vietnamese nonrefugees in Hong Kong; and (4) initiate a leadership role for the United States in implementing the Comprehensive Plan of Action, adopted at the International Conference on Indochinese Refugees in June 1989 in Geneva, Switzerland, and in negotiations over proposals to ensure humane treatment for the Vietnamese nonrefugees in Hong Kong.
