Iff Pjrtonifcs jltr**t 27 January 1975 Message from President Arnin As you knew, the Prime Minister and the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary had a word on the morning of 24 January about the proposed reply to be sent to the Deputy High Commissioner in Kampala to deliver to President Amin. When he saw the precise terms of the draft reply over the weekend, the Prime Minister wondered whether an alter- native form of words, indicating that a visit of the type proposed in the President's message "would not be in accord- ance with H.M. Government's list of priorities in the coming year" might not be preferable. I understand from our con- versation this morning that the Deputy High Commissioner has now recommended that no reply should be given to the message, but in case we decide after all to proceed with a reply, you may wish to bear the Prime Minister's proposed formulation in mind.
