R?TgHIE Security Panel - Protection of Diplomats. • . - ?°U?I re Kft, Cross* .safety. For ths panel meeting, I expect three sapscts will cone upi (a) a situation report oa the present status mt protection arrangements; (b) contingency planning for heightened protection in the event that Croaa* kidnappers are surrounded; (c) long tore problems of protection. M&ml&m Tfp^rtf* 2. Thia ia not covered in Protocol*a paper sent to the PCO, which deals only with long tern planning. I have aaked Protocol for rough notes on the present situation. Theae can be used for sn oral report to the panel. 3. The meat important aspect of the situation report, fron oar view point, is ths current proposal by DSS (concurred In by QPP Director St-Pierre) te cat down protective arrangements in Montreal. The panel meeting will give ue an opportunity of airing ear views on the subject and of getting support for our position. M Mat PfUPf fim.lff fWiTftM4g&« 4* Protection. - Tou agreed yesterday that thia question ahould be raised in the panel. Ve eoald propone that the EGMP make an assessment of the heightened protection measures which night be required in the event the Croaa kidnappera are located, and diaeaaa their conclusions with DID snd External Affaire. The matter would then have to be taken up with Quebec, either at the political lavsl or perhape norm simply on the police network. . ./2 001269 �- 2 - CONFIDENTIAL 5« Policy re Croaa* safety. - Perhaps we aheald aeise the opportunity to raiee in the panel a related bat much mere political question: what woald the poliee and the governments de if it were found that the Laporte aad Croaa sella have merged and ware surrounded while holding Croaa? Mr. Ernest C6ti suggested to me thia naming that it night be useful te get sn informal reaction from the panel on thin subject and perhaps te urge Mr. Gordon Robertson te sound oat the FM. Mr. Cote* may raise ths question if we den*t. Se le worried that we night have to face this problem at aay moment: we aheald therefore define oar poaition without delay. n>. Cote personally ia in favour ef mm. approach te Cuba te determine whether it woald be willing to receive naneera of the Laporte cell including presumed murderers oa the understanding that we would have to aak later for the extradition at leant ef the latter. Once we had a reply fron tha Cabana,the FM aheald presumably discuss ths options with Wr» Bourassa. - It aay be of course that Mr. Sharp would prefer to discuss the matter himself with the FM, rather than having lt raised by Mr. Robertson. Lore tern pUffintafi* 6. To ray knowledge Protocol*e paper covers thia problem well. It contains no assessment of the future level ef threat bat I suppose that thia ia ap te the RCMP rather than ourselves. C.
