Mr. Minister:

May I presume to ask you to send me the address of your nephew, Karl Mittel. I am a German instructor at the university (Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Métiers) and have been researching for ten years the internment camps, then transit and delivery camps. In the still unoccupied South, 1,929 were delivered to the Nazis in 1942, 23 of them children.

Karl Mittel was saved by the Quakers and the Jews. In the former camp, there remain beautiful murals and a brickyard, and they have still not been recovered. Can you help me with this--many survivors live in the US.

Would you accept the post of honorary president of our association? There are approximately 100 survivors and just as many others in the association.

Les Milles

La Tuilerie des Milles... camp d'internement en 1939
Les précisions d'un professeur historien

Les 1er et 2 décembre, nous retournions sous cette même chronique, un historique en deux volets sur la Tuilerie des Milles. André Fontaine, professeur à l'ix-en-Provence tient à apporter des précisions suivantes et à corriger certaines inexactitudes.

C'est début septembre 1939 que la Tuilerie des Milles servit de camp d'internement aux réfugiés allemands et autrichiens du lud-Est. dont d'illustres écrivains, peintres, députés, professeurs, architectes, moines, rabbins, des prix Nobel même.

Ils seront jusqu'à 2.000 -

— Non, 3.500 en juin 1940 et autant dans les annexes à Lambesc, Fuveau, Valabre,ardanne, Carpiagno, les Carriques. Au moment des déportations d'août et septembre 1942 on aurait dépassé le chiffre de 5.000.

Parmi eux, un antinazi Léon Feuchtwanger, qui écrira son

séjour sur le titre « Le Diable en France ».

Ils étaient presque tous antinazis et persécutés. Léon Feuchtwanger, auteur du Juif Suss n'est pas le seul à avoir dénoncé le diable du « j'en foutisme » du manque d'hygiène (un robinet d'eau et 4 WC pour 3.500 hommes, de la poussière, des courants d'air etc).

« Devant l'avance allemande un train enemmènera certains jusqu'à Bayonne où les soldats du Reich les ont devancés. « Non, ceux-ci n'arriveront que deux jours plus tard. Le chef de gare de Bayonne ne comprendra pas le télégramme du capitaine chef de train « prévoir repas pour 2.010 Allemands » et accueillera les internés millois par « un sauve qui peut, les boches arrivent ». C'est cinq jours après son départ que le train s'arrêtera à Nimes.

« Puis ce seront des déplacés, des apatrides ».

Soit, mais ce sont les mêmes qui rentrent en caion le 1er septembre 40 de Saint-Nicolas à 17 km de Nimes oud 'autres squelettiques, ceux-là vonant des sinistres camps de « Gurs » ou du « Vernet ». L'hôpital d'Aix devra soi-xante-trois fuiront grâce à la surveillante sœur Simone et André Claverie. Devenue camp de transit, les Milles pormettent à un millier de gagnants les Etats d'Amérique ou l'URSS.

« Des Chinois (qui mangeraient les chiens du village dont celui du chef de gare) ».

En fait il n'y eut, jamais parmi les 27 nationalités représentées qu'un seul Chinois. Aux milliers d'Allemands et d'Autrichiens, s'ajoutaient 95 Russes affamés (les Soviétiques mangèrent effective-

ment les chiens du village) et une centaine de Bulgares (qui sauvèrent tous les communautés et beaucoup d'Autrichiens de la déportation avant, de passer à la Résistance).

« Ensuite arriveront des Juifs qui seront emmenés en octobre 42 ».

Les Israélites étaient là dès le 7 septembre 1939 et représentaient 85% de la population du camp, 15% étant des époux d'Israélites ou des communists, des socialistes, des chrétiens démocrates.

Le verbe « emmener » est bien faible pour désigner en zone libre la déportation par les GMR, police de Vichy de 2.000 Juifs, selon le directeur d'alors, Robert Maulavé (47 enfants de 2 à 16 ans sont déportés le 1er Septembre. 72 ont été sauvés momentanément par les Quarkers amériains et l'OSEE juive ; selon le grand rabbin Salzer, aumônier

des Milles, certains furent « déchiquetés par des chiens en voulant franchir la frontière suisse »)

L'Intendant de police de Marseille, de Rodelec de Porzic, dirigea personnellement le départ. Veillant toujours à ce que les « Allemands aient leur compte » envoyant toujours une trentaine de personnes en plus, y compris des non-juifs.

Seul, le pasteur Manon de l'Eglise Réformée de France réagit vigoureusement contre les déportations, des Milles. Lui et son église minoritaire à Aix, quelques médecins, quelques Israélites et le gardien Auguste Boyer sauvèrent des centaines de Juifs.

Des dizaines réussirent à s'enfuir du train plombé, d'autres furent relâchés à LYon ou à Drancy.

Les enfants furent massacrés sous les yeux de leurs parents entre Drancy et

Auschwitz par les « SS » qui gazèrent presque tous les adultes en arrivant. 4 survivants ont pu relater leur odyssée.

« C'est de cette période que datent les fresques murales que l'on peut encore voir dans l'ancienne menuiserie ».

Les peintures — et non fresques — ne datent bien sûr pas de la déportation ; l'une a été réalisée en 1940 par Max Lininger, ancien professeur aux Beaux-Arts de Berlin, dessinateur de 1933 à 1939 au Monde et à l'Humanité. Ces chefs d'œuvre très mal conservés sont menacés de disparition pour faire place à une route. Ce serait une insulte au marquyre juif : 7 personnes se sont suicidées dans cette Tuilerie lors des déportations ; aucune, un plaque ne rappelle leur sacrifice ni celui des déportés.

HENRY A. KISSINGER

Dear Mr. President:

As has been the case far too frequently in
recent years, I must send my regrets for
this year's AEI World Forum in Beaver Creek,
as I'm committed to a number of contractual
engagements in Europe that week.

Nancy and I enjoyed having a chance to
catch up with you at the Schmidt birthday
dinner, although we definitely missed seeing
Betty.

In the hope of seeing both of you quite soon,

Gerald R. Ford

FEB 14 1989

Dear Henry:

Betty and I cordially invite you and Nancy to join us
again for the eighth AEI World Forum. Sponsored by the
American Enterprise Institute and the Vail Valley
Foundation, the World Forum will take place June 22-24,
1989 in Beaver Creek, Colorado. A brochure is enclosed.

I am inviting Helmut Schmidt, Valery Giscard d'Estaing, and Sir James Callaghan again, and we have asked Yasuhiro Nakasone to participate. Also invited are a number of leading public officials from both the United States and abroad. The new administration here and the many issues of importance to an international audience should continue the extremely interesting dialogue begun in previous years. Your participation, as always, would add substantially to the proceedings.

We would be delighted to welcome you back. I look
forward to hearing from you.

Warmest, best wishes,

The Honorable Henry Kissinger

"I thought it was a terrific conference. It's been a long time since I've sat and listened and learned so much."

## The AEI World Forum

Every June a select group of international business leaders, government officials, scholars, and former heads of government come together in a tiny village in the Colorado Rockies.

Gathered at the personal invitation of former President Gerald R. Ford, they meet for three days to explore the most critical issues facing the free world.

The AEI World Forum, inaugurated by President Ford in 1982, is sponsored by the American Enterprise Institute and the Vail Valley Foundation.

The eighth AEI World Forum will be held June 22-24, 1989, in Beaver Creek, Colorado.

Attendance is limited so that all the participants can sit around a single table. The sessions—off the record to encourage candor—allow everyone to contribute.

In its mountain setting, far removed from the distractions of day-to-day business, the AEI World Forum gives corporate leaders a chance to meet with their peers in a relaxed atmosphere. The social events and free time during the three days can be as useful as the working sessions. Spouses are invited to attend all sessions.

As a new administration and Congress take office in Washington, as Europe looks expectantly toward 1992, as the economic powers in the Pacific Basin continue to grow, and as fundamental changes sweep the Communist world, top business executives need to look strategically beyond the specific concerns of their own companies and national economies. The AEI World Forum provides a unique opportunity for frank and productive communication among corporate and government leaders from around the world on critical international issues.

## People

World leaders Ford each year meet with former world leader Helmut Scholl, chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, president of the Federal Republic of Germany, and other world leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to discuss international economic and political issues. The leaders also meet with the president of the World Trade Organization, Richard B. Condon, to discuss economic issues.

Business leaders draw together from banking, manufacturing, and retailing, as well as from all sectors of society, to discuss economic issues. Attending the Forum can be very informative and useful. Past participants include C. Butcher, Bank of America; R. L. Chaffin, Bank of America; C. A. Company, Hewlett-Packard; and J. W. O'reffice of Company, Hewlett-Packard.

Public officials, senior government officials, and business leaders gather to discuss important national and international issues. Attending a Public Forum can be very informative and useful. Past participants include: A. Preuss, chairman of the Federal Republic of Germany; B. J. Deutscher, chairman of the German Democratic Republic; B. J. Deutscher, chairman of the Federal Republic of Germany; J. W. O'reffice, president of the World Trade Organization; J. W. O'reffice, president of the World Trade Organization; and J. W. Hewlett, chairman of the Hewlett-Packard Company.

## Issues

### International Trade

A large proportion of international trade is under some kind of non-tariff restraint and moves only with the permission of the governments concerned, not in spontaneous response to market demand or at market-determined prices. The growth of protectionism in recent years is perceived by many to be a threat to the international trading order established after the Second World War, a system that was instrumental in Western prosperity.

In discussions led by experienced trade ministers, business leaders who are major international traders, and scholars who have studied the trading system for many years, the World Forum provides an ideal setting for identifying and analyzing existing and potential barriers to trade. Among the issues to be discussed:

* **European unification:** The economic and political ramifications of the scheduled European economic integration in 1992.

* **General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade:** Analysis of the Uruguay Round of negotiations and the prospects for an agreement on key issues such as trade in services and agriculture.

* **Trade policy in major trading nations:** The United States, Japan, West Germany, Great Britain, and the Pacific Basin countries such as South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, and the Philippines.

### The World Economy

The globalization of world trade and finance has created new challenges and opportunities for both governments and business. This is an important period for careful analysis by business leaders—how will the new U.S. president alter the nation's policies on monetary coordination? Third world debt? Financial market regulation? How should business leaders in Europe and elsewhere prepare for the prospective unification of European trading markets?

The World Forum will bring together leading central bankers, private bankers, investment specialists, and economic policy makers for discussions of these and other topics, including:

* **Economic outlook:** Seasoned officials and economic analysts will assess the outlook for continued growth in Western and Pacific economies.

* **Exchange rates:** The 1987 World Forum featured Alan Greenspan, Paul Volcker, and Deutschebank Vice President Helmut Schlesinger leading a detailed discussion on monetary policy and the outlook for exchange rates.

* **Financial markets:** Are financial market conditions sufficiently corrected since the turmoil in late 1987? Will the new U.S. admini-

stration into regulatory markets?

* **U.S. budget:** How effective is this budgetary policy in addressing the foreign investment needs of the U.S. economy?

## Political and Economic Issues

Because a little help cannot survive, stability and a lot of discussion at centers on strategic issues are needed.

* **Arms control and reduction:** What will the new U.S. Administration in Europe and the Pacific Rim prospects for U.S. militaryship, and what will the U.S. Administration in Europe and the Pacific Rim prospects for U.S. military

agreements should pay Western Alliance in 1992 to defense budget developments in Europe and Asia? How will the U.S. and other Western countries respond to the new U.S. administration?

* **Western conflict:** How will the U.S. and other Western countries respond to the conflict?

* **Democracy in Eastern Europe:** What prospects for freedom of expression, association, and the press in Korea, Singapore, and the Philippines? What prospects for freedom of association and the press in China and the Soviet Union?

* **Political and economic prospects for China:** What are the prospects for political and economic independence of the People's Republic of China? Will the new Chinese government continue to走 its own independent course, or will it continue to follow the example of other developing countries?

[LC]

[10]

stration introduce significant new
regulatory measures into financial
markets?

*   **U.S. budget and trade deficits:** How effective will the new administration and Congress be in tackling budget deficits? Will Congress become increasingly aggressive in addressing trade deficits and foreign investment in the United States?

## Political and Strategic Issues

Because a liberal economic order cannot survive without political stability and a strong defense, discussion at the World Forum centers on crucial political and strategic issues. Among these are:

*   **Arms control:** Strategic Arms Reduction Talks and the Strategic Defense Initiative: What are the prospects under new U.S. leadership, and what do they mean to Western interests?

*   **Defense burden sharing:** Who should pay for defending the Western Alliance? How will the 1992 economic integration affect defense burden sharing? Should development be linked to defense burden sharing in the Pacific Basin region? How do defensive weapons (such as SDI) and nuclear arms agreements affect defense burdens?

*   **Western interest in regions of conflict:** How can the West define and protect its interests in Central America, the Middle East, and southern Africa?

*   **Democratization and development in East Asia:** What are the prospects for Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the Philippines?

*   **Political and economic trends in Communist countries:** What are the prospects for further liberalization in China and the Soviet Union? Who gains or loses? What are the pros and cons of doing business in Deng's China and Gorbachev's USSR?

Above: Jeanne Kirkpatrick and Charles Wohlstetter

Left: Alan Greenspan and Walter Shipley

## Format

The World Forum is structured to encourage the participants to meet, exchange views, and specialize in a variety of settings:

*   **Plenary sessions:** All participants join in round-table discussions led by President Ford.

*   **Workshops:** Small groups meet on specific topics.

*   **Social events:** President and Mrs. Ford hold several receptions and dinners for World Forum participants at their home and at other scenic locations in the Vail Valley.

## Setting

The poet William Blake wrote: "Great things are done when men and mountains meet." The World Forum unfolds in a magnificent setting, ideal for promoting informal communication; the remote location keeps the group together in a way few conferences accomplish.

"The active roles taken by Paul Volcker and Alan Greenspan were tremendously effective."

Alfonso Yuchengco and Brent Scovercroft

"We found the programme and in particular the speeches and attendance extremely interesting and would love to come back in 1989."

## The American Enterprise Institute

The American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research is a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan research institution, based in Washington, D.C., dedicated to the improvement of government policy and public policy debate.

Each year AEI publishes dozens of studies of current policy issues and sponsors numerous conferences in which prominent scholars, government officials, business executives, and journalists participate. It also publishes three highly regarded periodicals—*The AEI Economist*, *Regulation*, and *Public Opinion*. AEI research combines thorough scholarship with relevance and practicality, analytical sophistication with clear and vigorous writing.

The Institute itself takes no positions on public policy issues, although its scholars, authors, and conference guests often do. AEI tries to ensure that opposing views are fairly presented in all its research and conferences; its motto is "Competition of ideas is fundamental to a free society."

AEI is home to several of the nation's most distinguished policy scholars, such as Irving Kristol, Jeanne Kirkpatrick, Robert Bork, Herbert Stein, Michael Novak, Ben Wattenberg, Richard Perle, Gottfried Haberler, and Marvin Kosters. Former President Gerald R. Ford is Distinguished Fellow of the Institute, and ninety-six scholars from U.S. and foreign universities are AEI adjunct scholars.

## The Vail Valley Foundation

The Vail Valley Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was created in 1981 for the purpose of raising and distributing funds for charitable purposes, to further enhance the athletic, cultural, and educational programs of the Vail Valley. Inspired by the international flavor of the community and its guests and residents, the Foundation focuses on promoting friendship and understanding among the nations of the world.

In addition to co-sponsoring the World Forum, the Foundation annually directs the American Ski Classic, an international ski racing event which features FIS World Cup races, the Jerry Ford Celebrity Cup, and the Legends of Skiing. The 1989 World Alpine Ski Championships are the crown of the Foundation's challenging agenda. The greatest names in ski racing from forty nations will congregate in the Vail Valley January 29-February 13, 1989, to test their skills on America's premier mountains—Vail and Beaver Creek.

In seven short years, the Foundation has seen its projects and events grow to international stature. In addition, it has directly contributed over $3 million to community groups and projects. The Vail Valley Foundation unveiled a marvelous addition to the community in June, 1987: the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater. This magnificent, open air Amphitheater expands the Foundation's cultural base, and was enjoyed by over 30,000 visitors in the summer of 1988.

You may already know this, but just wanted to run it by you.
In asking Ford's office for the name of a good liquor store
in the Beaver Creek area, his secretary happened to mention,
"you know, neither of them drinks"; Ford apparently stopped
a year after Betty.

While it's conceivable they could still make use of a bottle
of champagne for entertaining, would you rather send something
else--perhaps a basket of smoked salmon, caviar, etc.?

Yes, send "goodies" basket

GERALD R. FORD LIBRARY AND MUSEUM MONTHLY REPORT

JANUARY 1989

## Operations Budget Received

We received our budget for operating expenses, October 1988-September 1989, in January. It calls for expenditures of $766,500 for such items as salaries and benefits, travel and transportation, telephone and mail, some contracts and equipment purchases, and operating supplies. In the last fiscal year, we spent $649,968. Salaries and benefits account for $90,000 of this year's increase. Smaller increases in other categories will allow us to enhance the Library's print collection, make extensive equipment repairs to our aging audiovisual equipment, develop a semi-permanent exhibit for the Library's foyer, and purchase additional computer hardware for reference use at the Library, among other projects. We receive substantial funding for Museum programs from the Trust Fund, but that budget request has not been acted upon yet.

## Records of American Agenda Arrive at the Library

During January, the Library added the records of American Agenda to its holdings. This study commission, chaired jointly by President Ford and President Carter, was directed by James Cannon. Shortly after the election, the group received extensive media attention for presenting recommendations to President-elect Bush on wide-ranging issues. The organization's files (about 24 cubic feet) document discussions among policy leaders in preparation of the final report, correspondence, and material gathered for reference. We are still negotiating the terms of the deed of gift, and the collection will remain unprocessed and not available to researchers for a time.

## Museum Attendance Holds Steady, Revenue Up

For the first third of our fiscal year, Museum attendance has increased slightly over the last year--20,505 in FY89; 20,434 in FY88. The numbers will pick up, of course, as nice weather and summer approach. More significantly for our operations, however, is that revenues associated with admissions have climbed more quickly. In

Administered by the National Archives and Records Administration

[L.C.]

the comparable period last year, we earned $33,268 through
admissions, sales, reproductions, and building use fees.
This year the figure is $47,498. This revenue goes into a
fund especially designated for the Library and Museum, so we
benefit directly from our success here.

## Soviets Visit the Library and Museum

Nicholas T. Goncharoff, President of US/USSR Enterprises, delivered a lecture at the Museum on January 18. Based on a personal, two-hour conversation with General Secretary Gorbachev last fall, Goncharoff analyzed the internal politics of the Soviet Union and speculated about the direction of its domestic and foreign policies.

Tatiana Yudina, a senior researcher with the Soviet Institute of the USA and Canada, visited the Library to learn more about archival automation.

## Foundation Supports Landmark Conference on the Congressional Bicentennial

Enclosed is the program for "Understanding Congress: A Bicentennial Research Conference" scheduled for February 9-10 in Washington. The Gerald R. Ford Foundation has provided a grant of $2,500 (which is within the Foundation's approved budget) for the project, joining the Lyndon Johnson Foundation, the Dirksen Congressional Center, the Congressional Research Service, and the U.S. House and Senate as cosponsors. Registration for the meeting has closed--over 500 people will attend.

## Update on Personnel Actions

National Archives Personnel Operations will qualify candidates for two positions in February: the Supervisory Archivist at the Library and the Curator at the Museum, the two senior positions which report to the Director. With some luck, both appointments will be made by mid-March. We are also recruiting a new archivist at the Library, someone we believe will be on board within the next three months or so.

## On the Horizon

* February 10 Open house for teachers, Museum.

* February 11 Feature exhibit opens at the Museum. "Steichen and His Men: A Photographic Portrait of World War II" consists of 60 photographs depicting scenes of the war. Organized by the Smithsonian Institution, the exhibit will run through March 12.

# PAPER BLIZZARD

## Massive stacks at U-M's Ford library still need sorting

By DOV COHEN
NEWS SPECIAL WRITER

As George Bush's new national security adviser, Brent Scowcroft will have a place in history.

As Gerald Ford's old national security adviser, he already does.

And according to the files at the Gerald R. Ford Library on the University of Michigan's North Campus, that place is approximately 253 feet long.

Aside from assorted material scattered throughout the library, Scowcroft's files as national security adviser, when stacked end to end, take up 84 yards of space in the library.

Though not yet open to the public, the half-million pages of material in Scowcroft's files remain unprocessed and contain much classified information.

When opened, the files will showcase some of the more serious foreign policy documents of Ford's years in the White House, and possibly, a fair share of "junk" as well.

The files are, after all, but a small part of what one observer described as the "White House paper blizzard" on display at the Ford Library.

Almost 18 million pages of "stuff" are collected in the presidential library. The "paper blizzard" has showered the facility with documents from the trivial — inconsequential memos, bar mitzvah notices, old speeches — to the historically significant — key foreign policy and economic documents of the Ford staff.

And now, seven years after its public opening, the storm of paper chronicling Ford's career has been brought under control — sort of. About 11 million pages have been filed, summarized and packed away into acid-free boxes and folders, explains archivist Dennis Daellenbach. The remaining 7 million pages — including the Scowcroft papers — still await processing.

"It's a mixed grab bag," says Stanley Kutler, a historian from the University of Wisconsin who has used the Ford library. "It's like any other presidential library. There are a lot of good things and there's a lot of excessive paper that convinces you

we're not going to go with a bang or a whimper, but drown in a sea of paper."

As with other modern presidential libraries, the volume and contents of the Ford library result from the complexity of the presidency, the pack-rat nature of the staff and the duplicating machine.

A comparison between the Ford and Franklin Roosevelt libraries is revealing.

Though Ford served as president only 2½ years to Roosevelt's 12, the volume of material from Ford's White House is greater, according to Ford supervisory archivist David Horrocks. He says this is due both to the increased complexity of the presidency and to the technology of the duplicating ma-

chine.

All this copying and saving may
have produced files which seem un-
necessary (for example, the White
House pool and bulk mail files), but
this mountain of paper helps the ar-
chival staff serve a widely varied cli-
entele.

The library attracts a fair share of
researchers examining scholarly top-
ics like urban policy during the Ford
administration or foreign policy to-
ward the Third World. But it's also
used by a lot of non-professional
scholars.

Graduate students and faculty
members only made up half of the
151 researchers using the library last
year, according to library statistics.
The rest of the researchers were pri-
marily high schoolers and under-
graduates.

In addition to the researchers who
use the library, there are also those
who call or write in with questions.

Some of these can be a bit unusual.
While the staff refuses to label any of
the research requests "offbeat," they
will acknowledge that some are
clearly outside the mainstream of
scholarly tradition.

Daellenbach remembers one re-
quest having to do with "something
about shoes."

And Horrocks recalls the time a
person acquired what he thought
were Gerald Ford's eyeglasses. The
person "wanted to know who his doc-
tor was and what prescription he
wore," says Horrocks.

Twice in the past, people have re-
quested a sampling of White House
recipes served during the Ford years,
he adds.

Still, some requests are impossible

to fill exactly as they are phrased.
Archivists say it's not unusual to get
a letter from a child reading, "I'm
doing a report on President Ford.
Please send me anything you have
about him and a photo."

Nonetheless, the library is the
scene of research which some schol-
ars say would be impossible to do
without the presidential archives.

Patricia Witherspoon of the Uni-
versity of Texas says she found the li-
brary "invaluable" in her research.
For her analysis of organizational
communication, which involved
copying more than 1,000 pages of
memos, the library provided access
to primary texts not otherwise avail-
able, she says.

Even some of the lesser used files
can contain interesting material.
Though Ford's mail file is unlikely to
have scholars lining up at the door, it
does have some amusing items. For
example, Kutler recalls finding a
telegram from Ugandan President
Idi Amin regarding the Nixon par-
don. "He's telling Ford to be kind,"
Kutler says.

Some critics have questioned the
need for individual presidential li-
braries. There are currently eight of
them scattered across the country,
all of which have presidential muse-
ums attached except for the Ford Li-
brary. Ford's museum is in Grand
Rapids.

Except for Richard Nixon and

Ronald Reagan, every president
since Hoover has gotten his own li-
brary and museum, and Nixon and
Reagan projects are both in the
works.

Kutler has argued in favor of a
central depository for presidential
papers. Saying that "each president
wants his own living memorial," he
called the separate presidential ili-
braries a "pension in perpetuity" to
ex-presidents.

Daellenbach, however, says there
are reasons to preserve the current
system. "By putting the material out
in various locations, it brings the
presidency out to the American peo-
ple," Daellenbach says. "One could
argue that the people deserve it."

Dear Dr Kissinger,

It is with some trepidation that I find myself writing to
such a distinguished statesman as yourself. Nonetheless, I
shall get straight to the object of my letter.

I have been commissioned by David and Charles (Publishers)
England, to produce a book on the Anglo-American operation to
capture Gielenkirchen and its environs in November 1944. As
you are no doubt aware, the American division involved was
the U.S. 84th Infantry Division; your old division I believe.

So far during my research, I have had the good fortune to be
in contact with many ex-Railsplitters who have been extremely
helpful to me. Your name has often cropped up in passing and
I realise that many of your old colleagues have a very high
regard of you. I wonder, Dr Kissinger, might you be able to
help me with my project?

I would be most grateful to hear of any recollection or
anecdote that you may recall of those far off days. In
particular, anything you might remember of the 84th
Division's Commanding General, Alexander Bolling. Whilst in
Washington earlier in the year, I met with Dr Fritz Kramer
and he mentioned that you sometimes acted as interpreter for
General Bolling. Was this correct?

Of course I do realise that this request is somewhat
presumptuous of me, and do understand that the demands of
your high office may well leave you with very little time
available for matters of such inconsequence.

In closing may I wish you good health and thank you for your
patience in reading this letter. I shall look forward to
hearing from you if you feel you might be able to help.

Dear Board Member:

Once again this year, Daniel Rose has pledged to fund the now established and respected Rose Roundtable luncheons.

After discussion with Dan, we decided to make some changes in the ground rules governing these special events. Primarily, we are going to use the Roundtables:

To reward our best contributors and to bring in new individual and corporate members. Working with the Individual and Corporate Development Committees and other Board members, we are making a special effort to broaden our base of support. These luncheons are a perfect vehicle to enhance this important task.

To make FPA better know in educational circles. We will increasingly invite professors from NY colleges and universities, as well as teachers or school administrators we work with on some of our programs.

To achieve the first of these goals, we are asking for your cooperation. When you receive a Rose Roundtable announcement, like the enclosed invitation to a private luncheon with the Honorable Elliot Abrams, please think of a friend or colleague whom you would like to bring. With your approval, this person will be solicited to become a member. This solicitation can be done by FPA or, even better, by you personally. In the latter case, we can provide you with our individual membership cards and annual reports which describe our entire program.

Some of our Board members are already doing this regularly since the Rose luncheons are an attractive and interesting way to highlight the FPA's many advantages. We would like to ask all of you to join in this effort to expand FPA's support base. Although your guests would not be solicited without your approval, we hope that you would keep our goal in mind when you invite them.

With your help, FPA can increase its Associate membership and assure that we will be able to inform Dan Rose of a successful program year.

Dear Amalia:

No note of thanks could ever suffice for
all you did for me, but I do want to
express my tremendous gratitude for your
innumerable efforts on my behalf. It was
wonderful to return to Buenos Aires, par-
ticularly on such a festive occasion, and
I know I have you to thank for making it
all possible. Your lunch was a delightful
respite from a fun and informative but
hectic two days, and I much appreciate
your hosting it on such short notice.

It was a visit of superlatives, the best
of which was seeing you. Nancy was very
touched by your magnificent gift and is
hoping we will be able to return to Argentina
together in the not-too-distant future.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

I hope all is well with you and Mrs. Kissinger.

I thought you would want to know that the Lyndon LaRouche
Organization has, of late, renewed its propaganda attack against
you. As examples, I am enclosing copies of recent editions of the
weekly magazine Executive Intelligence Review. Of particular
concern is the February 23, 1989 issue, containing an article
titled, "Read Our Lips George: Kissinger's Got To Go," which
states in part:

We can easily imagine Henry Kissinger
smacking his fat lips and gloating: "Now
that I have Lyndon LaRouche in jail, at
last I am free to pursue my evil
plans...." Henry Kissinger is probably
the most hated American, and for good
reason.... If you hate Henry Kissinger and
the evil which he stands for, then you
should organize, too.

These histrionics may be a tactic to bolster the interest of
the cult's followers while LaRouche is in jail. As you probably
know, he was recently convicted on federal conspiracy charges and
sentenced to 15 years in prison.

We will continue to monitor the propaganda and activities of
the LaRouche network. We will, if you wish, keep you apprised of
further developments.

Kindest regards.

Editorial

Read our lips George:
Kissinger's got to go

We can easily imagine Henry Kissinger smacking his fat lips and gloating: "Now that I have Lyndon LaRouche in jail, at last I am free to pursue my evil plans." The word is out everywhere that Henry has surfaced as a special messenger for George Bush to the Soviets. While during the election campaign, he made a show of opposing the trend toward uncritical trust in Soviet dictator Gorbachov, the Henry we all knew and hated has resurfaced again. The word is out everywhere that Kissinger is at the center of the drive for a new Yalta sellout.

According to press leaks, Kissinger met with President Bush and James Baker, on Jan. 28, just one day after the sentencing of Lyndon LaRouche and his associates, to lay out broad proposals for an East-West settlement which would trade off the Federal Republic of Germany and the NATO alliance for Soviet concessions in Eastern Europe.

The recent showing of James Baker on his trip to the F.R.G., would seem to substantiate that Kissinger's policy to Finlandize West Germany, has been accepted—at least by the Secretary of State. By his blustering attacks on the German government, for stalling on the question of modernizing short-range missiles, he is virtually guaranteeing that the modernization will be stalled. He is actually making it more difficult for Chancellor Kohl to control the pro-Soviet Hans-Dietrich Genscher, Foreign Minister in his government, and weakening the pro-American Chancellor, whose government is already shaky.

A cursory look at the number of key appointments in the Bush administration, from General Scowcroft at the NSC to Lawrence Eagleburger, proposed for the number-two spot at the State Department, shows the spoor of Kissinger. It is clear that since its formation, in 1982, Kissinger Associates has functioned as a shadow government in the wings, or more precisely the administrative section of northern Freemasonry.

Henry Kissinger is probably the most hated American, and for good reason. He has been implicated in the murders of Zulhqar Ali Bhutto, Aldo Moro, Opus

Dei leader Adm. Luis Carrero Blanco, and whole nations such as Lebanon. Now he is plotting to decouple the United States from Western Europe, turning Europe into a Soviet sphere of influence. If we allow him to succeed, this will be tantamount to the murder of Western civilization itself.

On Aug. 14, 1982, Fiorella Operto, chairman of the European Labor Party in Italy, submitted a legal evidentiary brief on Kissinger's complicity in operations leading to the mid-1970s outbreak of international terrorism across Europe, and specifically to the Red Brigades' kidnaping and assassination of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro. This led to a warrant being issued against Kissinger a year later by Judge Imposimato. This would have forced him to answer the questions raised in the brief. Rather than do so, Kissinger fled Italy and went to France. Meanwhile, on Aug. 19, 1982, Kissinger had written to William Webster, then head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, requesting that he open an investigation against Lyndon LaRouche.

Kissinger is a man who will stop at nothing to get his way, or to exact personal vengeance. Now that Kissinger has again crawled out of his closet, and is openly operating at the center of policymaking circles, does he think that now he has the power to silence his opponent LaRouche? We believe he will be taught a lesson.

As we go to press, forces are mobilizing to defeat Lawrence Eagleburger's appointment to the State Department. They are mobilizing to oppose the bankers' dictatorship which would be the effective result of President Bush's plan to restructure the regional banking system, a reorganization which would immediately benefit James Baker's Chemical and Henry Kissinger's Chase Manhattan banks. They are mobilizing in Ibero-America to defeat Kissinger and Baker's schemes to return those nations to the status of colonies. They are mobilizing internationally to free Lyndon LaRouche.

## From the Editor

Joyce Rubinstein Fredman, known to EIR readers as a writer of many clear and thoughtful articles on the state of the real economy, has just been subjected to the treatment Henry Kissinger's friends have in store for all associates of Lyndon LaRouche and for La-Rouche himself. Joyce is one of six LaRouche associates unjustly convicted of fraud and conspiracy in the recent Alexandria court case, which the West German constitutional law expert von der Heydte cogently compares to the notorious "Dreyfus Affair" of 1894-1904 in France (see page 58).

During her transfer from the minimum-security Alexandria detention center to a minimum-security institution in another state, Joyce was subjected to a degrading and life-threatening ordeal. During the 36 hours of the "transfer," while out of contact with family and legal counsel, she was forced to walk through blood, vomit, urine, and to walk clad only in a towel before male prisoners who exhibited themselves to her (and prison guards laughed); and kept overnight with hardened women criminals who stole her dinner and beat her during the night. This was a maximum security institution in Washington, D.C., currently the murder capital as well as the political capital of the nation.

We do not accept that any prisoner should be subjected to such treatment, but we also know that Joyce was singled out for humiliation as an associate of LaRouche, and that if LaRouche were put through such a "transfer," he would undoubtedly be killed.

In the National report this week, we resume our "Kissinger Watch," because the name of the secret agenda of the Bush administration is Henry Kissinger; and we develop the compelling reasons why LaRouche and his co-defendants must be freed on bond pending appeal, as a growing number of U.S. civil libertarians—not our political allies—also believe. The Martin Luther King Tribunal convenes this weekend, Feb. 25-26, in the Washington area to bring that point home.

As von der Heydte stresses, LaRouche's only real "crime" was the fact that he is an independent political force. Therefore, the injustice in the "LaRouche Affair" will only be reversed through the exponential growth of his policies. An example of how his enemies are already paying for jailing LaRouche by multiplying his influence, is visible in Venezuela (see page 44).

LaRouche's insignificance
is growing in Venezuela

by Gretchen Small

Some one, or some group, must be exceedingly worried over
the influence which they believe former U.S. presidential
candidate Lyndon H. LaRouche enjoys in Venezuela. No
other conclusion could be drawn, when, on Sunday, Feb. 12,
Venezuela's two leading newspapers, *El Universal* and *El
Nacional*, each carried full-page, paid, anonymous adver-
tisements attacking LaRouche.

Under the bold headline, "Jail is the New Home of Lyndon LaRouche," the ads called LaRouche everything from a "disinformation mercenary" to a "prophet of catastrophe," while noting that LaRouche "admits" to having Venezuelan friends, including some among them leaders of the Venezuelan Labor Party (PLV). After six columns, of some 92 lines each, of slander, the ads concluded by commenting: Rest assured, the 15-year sentence imposed by Judge Albert Bryan against LaRouche on Jan. 27 "closes a chapter" on La-Rouche's activities, and has delivered "a rude blow to his theories and ambitions."

The next day, the Caracas English-language newspaper, the *Daily Journal*, carried a similar full-page ad. Although it had the same headline, the text varied from its Spanish version. Most notable here was the inclusion of a lengthy list of institutions and individuals which, the ad complains, La-Rouche has attacked—top among them being the International Monetary Fund and nine banks and financial investment houses.

Nonetheless, this ad concluded even more hopefully: "In
spite of outrageous claims, of the noise made by LaRouche,
his cult has not spread extensively, and now that he is in jail,
perhaps they will quiet a little bit. . . . LaRouche will keep
barking, but now that he is behind bars his words have even
less credibility."

By itself, the fact that the three full-page ads were anon-
ymous caused political shockwaves in Venezuela. Venezue-
lan law requires that all advertisements carry the name, and
identification or registration number of some person or insti-
tution who are responsible for its contents. Only a very pow-
erful group, or person, indeed, could have forced the news-
papers to publish the three ads without revealing their iden-
tity.

Fine. But then, on Feb. 16, *El Nacional* told Venezuelans
that "[General] Camejo and Monseñor Nelson Arellano Are
Agents of the PLV and LaRouche"—the incredible headline
the paper gave to yet another full-page news spread on La-

Rouche, the PLV, and the war of a Gnostic cult against the
Venezuelan Armed Forces.

To charge that Camejo and Arellano are "agents" of
LaRouche, shows real desperation: Gen. Humberto Camejo
Arias heads the special anti-drug and anti-terrorist force de-
ployed on the Venezuelan-Colombian border, known as the
CEJAP; Monsignor Arellano is military chaplain to the Ven-
ezuelan Army's II Infantry Brigade, and serves with the rank
of Colonel!

This time, the individual seeing LaRouche agents every-
where, was Congressman Walter Márquez, a "bishop" of the
Universal Christian Gnostic Church who is desperately trying
to get the Venezuelan government or military to silence the
PLV. Márquez began to be hysterical against the PLV in
1988, when PLV Secretary General Alejandro Peña, the par-
ty's presidential candidate in the 1988 elections, took out a
series of advertisements exposing Márquez and his gnostic
cult as protectors of terrorists and drug-runners.

The PLV's exposure of Márquez' international narco-
terrorist ties blew apart an operation which Márquez had been
spearheading, to force the government to dismantle the CE-
JAP special anti-terror force which has been mopping up
narcoterrorist activites along the border. On Feb. 14, Peña
took out a new advertisement, reiterating that he stands be-
hind his charges against Márquez (see Documentation).

By Feb. 16, Márquez was left to bitterly complain to *El Nacional*, that while he had expected the CEJAP to be dismantled once Carlos Andrés Pérez was sworn in as President on Feb. 4, the activities of the PLV and LaRouche have now limited "the possible actions which President Pérez could undertake."

*El Nacional* also reported that the U.S. Embassy in Caracas has also been busy attempting to counter LaRouche's influence in Venezuela. Embassy officials are handing out a Feb. 6 *Time* magazine article on LaRouche's sentencing, and telling reporters that LaRouche's charge that Washington and Moscow have conspired to assassinate him does not merit an answer, the paper reported.

Operation Furies in action

LaRouche's jailing in the United States on Jan. 27 provoked angry reactions from many in Ibero-America. *El Comercio*, one of Peru's leading newspapers, reflected the view of many, when it wrote on Feb. 5 that "a genuine scandal was

caused by the trial and imprisonment of Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. We are certain that the accusation against Mr. LaRouche, that he didn't pay taxes, is an absurd pretext to reduce him to silence."

Likewise, journalists and radio announcers in Argentina, Panama, Peru, Colombia, Guatemala, and Mexico have been eager to interview Mr. LaRouche and Dennis Small (EIR's Ibero-American editor, convicted with LaRouche in the Alexandria frame-up) from their Alexandria prison.

The reaction in Venezuela, however, beats all others. Since Jan. 27, complete pages in several newspapers have been dedicated to debating the relative importance and influence of Lyndon LaRouche on four different days, not counting the "anonymous" slander ads. LaRouche himself has given five radio interviews in Venezuela from his jail cell, while Dennis Small has given another two.

What set this off? Perhaps an answer can be found in a Feb. 8 interview which LaRouche gave to *El Nacional* from his Alexandria jail.

"If I were free right now, and not in jail, I would be talking with the President of Venezuela [Carlos Andrés Pérez] or his government, with whom I have had some disagreements in the past but with whom we currently have convergences. For example, regarding the foreign debt, we have different perspectives, but agreement that it must be politically resolved between the creditors and debtors," LaRouche told the paper.

*El Nacional* described LaRouche as "a polemical philosopher," and "a controversial economist who has dedicated his life and goods to a crusade against U.S. and Soviet imperialism, which, he says, threatens to destroy humanity through drugs." But the paper couldn't resist asking LaRouche about his famous "fight" with the powerful Cisneros family in Venezuela back in 1985.

In February 1985, LaRouche made front-page news in Venezuela for weeks on end, and was "denounced" as the man who had commissioned the book *Dope, Inc.*, an exposé of the drug trade which attacks (among other people) money-laundering bankers. Less than one week after publication of the Spanish-language edition of the book, the Cisneros family (one of Venezuela's richest nouveaux riches), went to the courts to demand *Dope, Inc.* be banned in Venezuela, because the book "offended the honor" of the family by mentioning them.

Three years later, *El Nacional* wanted to know what LaRouche had to say about that "fight." LaRouche downplayed the role of the Cisneros, charging that the fuss over *Dope, Inc.* had been instigated by the U.S. embassy, on behalf of drug-money laundering Boston bankers and Soviet interests.

*El Nacional* featured this exchange as the center of their coverage, running a large picture of LaRouche (captioned, "I Accuse"), accompanied by a picture of Gustavo Cisneros walking with his business partner, David Rockefeller, and

one of the U.S. ambassadors to Venezuela in 1985, George Landau—who left that post to serve as president of Rockefeller's Americas Society.

*El Nacional*'s choice of coverage was timely. On Feb. 15, David Rockefeller and George Landau arrived in Caracas, along with many foreign luminaries, for a big publicity meeting of the Americas Society. The visitors were greeted by a well-placed, half-page advertisement placed by the PLV in *El Nacional*, warning that Rockefeller and his hired employee Henry Kissinger were heading up a plot by bankers and bolsheviks to destroy Venezuela's sovereignty and steal its resources (see *Documentation*).

*El Nacional*'s feature on the "LaRouche agents" and the U.S. embassy's "dismissal" of LaRouche hit the next day—illustrated with a huge picture of a July 1984 issue of the PLV's newspaper, *Solidaridad Internacional*, which carried the bold headline: "Bankers to the Zoo! LaRouche, in Argentina, Recommends Solutions to President Alfonsín." Could Rockefeller and his friends fear that Carlos Andrés just might follow the example of his political ally, Argentine President Raúl Alfonsín, and consult with LaRouche—in jail or out—on a solution to the world debt crisis?

EIR February 24, 1989

International 45

A rally on Martin Luther King's birthday, Jan. 16, 1989, in San Francisco.

The dirty campaign of anonymous ads taken out recently against my friend Lyndon LaRouche—a well-known oppo-nent of the usurious practices of Rockefeller and the Inter-national Monetary Fund—are intended to frighten all Vene-zuelans, in order to eliminate any opposition to Rockefeller's fiendish plan to colonize the country.

As the Venezuelan Labor Party (PLV) has shown, the international banks—and their lackeys in Venezuela—have looted $67 billion from the country by means of the combined effect of flight capital and the increase in interest rates. Not content with this, now they want to squeeze what little remains to us, pushing forward a savage program of austerity that will mean hunger for the people, ruin for productive businesses, and a bonanza for speculators and drug-dollar launderers.

As if this weren't enough, at the same time the banks are pushing to exchange debt for our national patrimony: gold, aluminum, petroleum, PDVSA (the national oil company), territory, etc. Finally, they want to make us produce drugs to pay the foreign debt, as they have already succeeded in doing with other brother countries. It is no accident that the Inter-American Dialogue, a creation of the Trilateral Commission that Rockefeller presides over, has proposed drug legalization in its 1986 and 1988 reports. Nor is it an accident that they have also proposed the weakening of the Armed Forces of Ibero-America, to clear the way for their dastardly plan.

As is known, LaRouche has opposed these colonization policies, just as he has opposed a new Yalta-style partition of the world between the bankers and Moscow; unlike Kissinger—a well-known Rockefeller employee—who has just proposed that Europe be made a part of Russia's zone of influence, as made clear in his statements to the Feb. 12 Washington Post.

Lastly, LaRouche is the author of *Operation Juárez*, a famous proposal for reorganizing the international financial system, based on a moratorium on the foreign debt and carrying out Great Projects in the Third World. His program fully agrees with the concepts outlined by His Holiness John Paul II in his latest encyclical, *Sollicitudo Rei Socialis*.

These are among the reasons the Bolsheviks and the bankers have sent LaRouche to jail, where they intend to kill him.

Why do Rockefeller's puppets carry out an exaggerated, slanderous, and anonymous campaign, against someone who is in jail and who has no influence in Venezuela? The answer is simple: They want to frighten anyone who might oppose the genocidal austerity that the IMF, Rockefeller, Kissinger, and company seek to impose.

## Peña versus Gnostics

*On Feb. 14, one day before, Peña placed the following advertisement in El Universal, under the headline, "Peña Esclusa vs. the Satanic Gnostic Church: Mr. Walter Már-

quez. Stop Hiding."

I reiterate that Deputy Walter Márquez leads a Satanic sect, linked to the Colombian narco-terrorist M-19 group. I am speaking of the **Universal Christian Gnostic Church**, a dangerous, explicitly anti-Catholic heresy which promotes perverse sexual rites and brainwashing.

I accuse Deputy Walter Márquez of hiding behind national institutions and involving third parties, to evade debate about the satanic Gnostic Church.

**I clarify:** I did not lead any campaign whatsoever against the Division of Military Intelligence, Congress, journalists nor President Carlos Andrés Pérez.

**I clarify:** I do not undertake anonymous campaigns by means of advertisements or other forms, unlike my detractors who anonymously publish slanderous ads against me and my friends, such as Lyndon H. LaRouche.

**I admit:** I am carrying out a campaign against the **Universal Christian Gnostic Church** and other forms of Satanism existing in our country. This campaign is based on the following:

**Fact No. 1:** The Gnostic Church was founded in Venezuela by Walter Márquez, together with Julio César Medina Vizcaino and José Vicente Márquez, Colombian citizens accused in their country of being "rapists, swindlers, terrorists, and narcotics traffickers."

**Fact No. 2:** The Gnostic Church protects the M-19 terrorist group; that is publicly admitted by the guerrilla chiefs themselves, such as M-19 founder (the late) Jaime Bateman and current M-19 chief Carlos Pizarro. In fact, Gnosticism serves as the M-19's internal ideology and recruitment mechanism.

**Fact No. 3:** Gnosticism is connected to arms-for-drugs trading through the **Bulgarian Connection** and **Kintex** company, as found in the investigations carried out after the attempted assassination of His Holiness John Paul II.

**Fact No. 4:** The Gnostic Church promotes perverse sexual rites and brainwashing. Reading any book by that sect's demented patriarch, the late Colombian **Samael Aún Weor**, is enough to prove that.

This is not religious persecution, since the **Universal Christian Gnostic Church** is neither Christian nor a church. This is an unmasking of those who hide behind a pseudo-religion to destabilize democracy and to conspire against our fundamental institutions, such as the National Armed Forces and the Catholic Church.

I say to Márquez: Don't keep running away from the debate. I suppose, Mr. Márquez, that I have been explicit enough for you not to go on telling the gullible who have supported you out of good faith, that this is an "anonymous campaign to discredit"; I am presenting my signature and my identity card, concrete facts, and a very clear invitation to debate publicly. Are you going to keep refusing? Do you have anything else to hide?

Kissinger's friends
targeting Bhutto

Lyndon LaRouche warned from his jail cell in Alexandria
Va., Feb. 15 that Henry Kissinger and his Anglo-Soviet
friends are targeting Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto
for possible assassination.

Don't forget, LaRouche told *EIR*, that it was Henry Kissinger—who has bounded back into a powerful political position in the new Bush administration—who ordered the 1977 overthrow and later judicial murder of Bhutto's father, Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.

The threat to Benazir Bhutto's security centers on the
orchestrated chaos produced in Pakistan by the British pub-
lication of the book *The Satanic Verses* by Salman Rushdie.
The book was published by the Penguin group of London,
whose parent company, Pearsons, also owns the pro-Soviet
London *Economist*. This is the Rothschild crowd, longtime
friends of Moscow's late Kim Philby, that is forcing through
Henry Kissinger's plans to sacrifice Western Europe to the
Soviet Union. This is the same gang that is responsible for
my jailing, LaRouche said.

Since London is also the unofficial capital of the funda-
mentalist Muslim Brotherhood, the British are running both
sides of the operation to unleash chaos on the Subcontinent,
as well as Islamic terrorism against the United States. Once
again, with the assaults on the American cultural center in
Islamabad Feb. 12, the "American cousin" has taken it on
the chin for Britain's dirty work. If the United States does
not call the British to account for this operation, then it will
fast lose credibility internationally, LaRouche said.

The operation in Pakistan is also coordinated with the
Soviet Union, which has been targeting Prime Minister Bhut-
to since her election in December 1988. The man who led the
charge against the U.S. cultural center in protest against *The*
*Satanic Verses* was Kausar Niazi, whom the *New York Times*
reported Feb. 15 is "regarded here as being close to Moscow,
where he has made several trips." Niazi was quoted attacking
Mrs. Bhutto for "being out of touch" with Pakistanis' "relig-
ious feelings."

The operations against Bhutto and her government, said
LaRouche, are coordinated with the escalating war in Af-
ghanistan, which continues to threaten Pakistan. The game-
plan is the Primakov-Brzezinski plan to force the disintegra-
tion of the nation-states of the Subcontinent in an "arc of
crisis."

Don't forget, said LaRouche, that officials of the CIA
have considered Henry Kissinger a Soviet agent. "I always

said he was a Soviet agent of influence. And everything I
have ever said about Kissinger has been proven right,"
LaRouche said, "and plenty more."

Chaos on the Subcontinent

Two days after LaRouche issued his warning, the furor
over *The Satanic Verses* is continuing to destabilize the Sub-
continent. In Pakistan, despite the fact that authorities have
temporarily banned all "public meetings, processions, and
demonstrations," on Feb. 17 demonstrations directed by Nia-
zi and his friends erupted in nine cities. In Karachi, where
U.S. flags and Rushdie's effigy were set on fire, Muslims
demanded Rushdie's extradition for execution in Pakistan.
Similar protests were held in Hyderabad, Sukkur, Faisal-
bad, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Bannu, and Quetta.

In northern India, police on Feb. 17 shot two protesters
during day-long rioting by crowds demanding a worldwide
ban on the Rushdie book. Police said they opened fire after
tear gas and baton charges failed to disperse the protesters.

A state of alert was declared in Bombay after a caller said
the "Iranian Guards" would attack British planes until Rush-
die came out of hiding in London. The caller also said that
four prominent Indians would be killed for criticizing the call
by Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini for Rushdie's execution. "We
are checking on all Iranians staying in Bombay and those
coming into the city," said police commissioner Vasant Shar-
af, who noted that "religious fanaticism can drive people
mad."

In Pakistan, Niazi is continuing to incite fanaticism and
anti-Bhutto ferment. "If I had the opportunity, I would mur-
der him myself," Niazi said about Rushdie in an interview
Feb. 16. About Prime Minister Bhutto, he continued, "She
doesn't know the feelings of Pakistanis. She was brought up
abroad. She can't know the feelings Pakistanis have for the
Prophet and their religion."

Recognizing that the combustible nature of the protests
is being used by her political foes in an effort to destabilize
Paksitan, Mrs. Bhutto has moved quickly to try to limit the
political fallout. At the same time that she has deployed riot
police in full force, she has called on the U.S. deputy chief
of mission in Islamabad, Elizabeth Jones, to deliver a mes-
sage urging the United States to reconsider publishing the
book.

There is no doubt that Bhutto, and secondarily the United
States, is the target of the orchestrated chaos surrounding the
book. The danger to Mrs. Bhutto is underscored by a Feb. 9
incident in which a man with a gun that looked like a walking
stick was apprehended entering the National Assembly where
she was attending hearings. The accused, Zafar Iqbal Ahsan,
a resident of a heavy drug-producing area, was given a pass
to attend the National Assembly that would have placed him
in close proximity to Mrs. Bhutto. The gun he carried, a
special type made in Israel, has been sent to army experts for
investigation.
