                  <text>PAULINE SABOURIN

14.1.75

What happened on October 5th?
Miss Sabourin normally kept an office diary, but October 5th was blank.
She was kept very busy between her own office and the Op Centre.
Being French speaking Canadian, she felt indirectly responsible for the crisis.

Did AER discuss the crisis?
He did not discuss it with Miss Sabourin.
AER routinely saw the Minister daily.
Both AER and SSEA made Independent contact with people they normally would not be
in contact with, particularly in Quebec, and Montreal.
AER did not tape his telephone calls except perhaps in the Op Centre.
AER was greatly affected by the death of Laporte.

What problems were most important to AER?
Negotiations were the most difficult.

Was Cross' personal safety a high priority with AER?
Probably.

Did AER try to encourage concessions for that reason?
Miss Sabourin did not overhear any discussion on this subject, and was not herself in
favour of concessions of any kind.

Who originated the safe conduct?
Mile. Leclerc made up the actmal travel document. Miss Sabourin did not know who
originated the idea.
•
Did AER have a feel for the political situation in Quebec?
010844

�AER had arrived in Canada from Washington in February, 1970, and had not had time
to become familiar with the Quebec scene.
Miss Sabourin did not know with whom AER talked in Quebec. Perhaps Choquette, she thought.

V/ith whom did AER talk most within the Federal Government?
He attended Cabinet Committee meetings.
He talked with the Cuban Ambassador.

�This is January 14th, 1975, the Pearson Building in Ottawa. Pauline Sabourin,
secretary to the Under-secretary, is going to recall the FLQ crisis which ended
a little more than four years ago.
