Borja yesterday said a 3D-mem­ ber contingent from the People's Republic of China is expected to arrive Saipan next month to as­ sess tourism and travel opportu­ nities here. In his weekly news conference yesterday, Borja said the group \. is coming over notwithstanding i recent plans by-the Tenorio Ad­ ministration to effect a morato­ rium on workers coming from the Communist nation. "It could affect relations but it should not," said Borja, refer­ ring to the proposed Chinese worker ban. "Tourism and em­ ployment are two separate mat­ ters," said Borja. Borja was in China earlier this TO ALL! year exploring a potential tourist market in PROC.

The announcement prompted trade and economic cooperation officials there to make an unex­ I pected visit over the weekend mainly to discuss other options to the ban.
