X c / 7 10 9 June 1975 Uganda: Message to the Prime Minister Thank you for your letter of 6 June with which you enclosed a copy of the message sent to the Prime Minister by President Amin. The Prime Minister has noted your advice that we should treat President Amin's latest communication as unworthy of reply. He has however suggested that, particularly in the context of the threat against Mr. Hills, he might send a reasoned and friendly reply saying simply that the allegations are not true and that we want him to know this. I should be grateful if you could reconsider this in the light of the Prime Minister's comment and let me have a draft. So far as Mr. Hills is concerned, I have of course been seeing the exchanges of telegrams with Kampala. The Prime Minister has however asked what contingency planning is going on for reprisals or sanctions if Mr. Hills is killed. P. R. H. WRIGHT R.N. Dales, Esq. Foreign and Commonwealth Office
