Paper envelope carrying a brown planet-shaped icon with the initials ICM / CIM, the logo of the Intergovernmental Committee for Migration (known today as IOM, the UN's International Organization for Migration). This was the type of envelope provided to the majority of Vietnamese refugees upon their acceptance to settle in the US, and it contained their immigration documents and lung X-ray films. This made it extremely valuable as it was proof of their right to immigrate.
This specific envelope belonged to Ms. Nguyen Thi Bao Nga, who escaped by boat from Vietnam to Palawan, Philippines, in 1987. She later settled in the US and kept this envelope because of its importance.
