I 3 . THE SECRETARY OF STATE SEES LITTLE ATTRACTION IN VISITING KAMPALA AND KINSHASA BUT WOULD DO SO NEXT WEEK IF THIS WERE NECESSARY TO CONSOLIDATE FURTHER THE REMOVAL OF THE DEATH SENTENCE OR IF HE KNEW THAT HILLS WOULD BE PERMITTED TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY BEFORE OR NO LATER THAN HIS QWM DEPARTURE FROM UGANDA. ON THE OTHER HAND, AMIN'S PUBLIC UTTERANCES SEEM TO INDICATE THAT HE HAS COOLED OFF A VISIT BY MR CALLAGHAN AND HE WOULD GO TO KAMPALA ONLY I F IT WAS NECESSARY THAT HE SHOULD DO SO IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT THE UNDER- TAKING HE GAVE PREVIOUSLY. hm THE BEST OUTCOME WOULD THEREFORE BE ONE IN WHICH IT COULD BE ESTABLISHED THAT HILLS' LIFE WAS SAFE AND THAT AMIN, FOR WHATEVER REASON, NO LONGER WANTED A VISIT BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE. IT MAY THEREFORE BE THAT CAMPBELL'S DISCUSSIONS IN KINSHASA CAN BE REGARDED AS DISCHARGING THE REQUIREMENT TO DISCUSS ANGLO- UGANDAN RELATIONS WITH MOBUTU AMD THAT HO FURTHER VISIT OR TALKS WERE CALLED FOR, IF CAMPBELL CAN STEER MATTERS THIS WAY,WELL AND GOOD, OTHERWISE, AFTER CAMPBELL HAS REPORTED AND MADE HIS RECOMM- MF-NDATIONS, THE SECRETARY OF STATE WILL WANT TO CONSIDER URGENTLY WHAT SHOULD BE DONE, 5, THE SECRETARY OF STATE HAS SEEN THE TIMETABLE PROPOSED IN YOUR TELEGRAM NO.186 TO ROME (NOT REPEATED ELSEWHERE). IF THE VISIT TAKES PLACE NEXT WEEK VIA KINSHASA, THE PROPOSALS ARE SATISFACTORY ALTHOUGH IF HE GOES TO KINSHASA HE DOES NOT NOW REGARDTHE KENYAN Ur-G OF THE TRIP AS VITAL. HE WILL IN ANY CASE WISH TO RETURN TO LONDON BY THURSDAY EVENING.. YOU WILL BE AWARE OF THIMETABLE DIFFIC- ULTIES OVER ANY OTHER DATE BEFORE THE AUTUMN. 6, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT SOME DAYS AGO I MENTIONED TO SIR MARTIN CHARTER!S THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE MIGHT WISH TO BE AWAY , DURING THE SWEDISH STATE VISIT, HE INDICATED THAT IN THE CIRCUM- STANCES THIS WOULD BE ALL RIGHT, BUT YOU MAY IN THE MEANTIME WISH TO SPEAK TO HIM ONCE MORE AND CONSIDER WHETHER ANY FORMAL NOTIFIC- ATION TO THE PALACE' IS REQUIRED. . - h on
