AUSTRALIAN HIGH COMMISSION I) es /• <• ..0-5^- LONDON THE HIGH COMMISSIONER Sir John Bunting, KBE ,yy •I-. ,, I' I k 28 February 1977 Dea'k* Prime Minister, / I have been asked to let you know that my ctime Minister has written privately to you about President Amin's attendance at the forthcoming Common- wealth Heads of Government meeting in London. As the /original of the letter will take a little time getting -7here, fl have also been asked to give you now its terms, / which/are as follows: "You will, I am sure, have been saddened and fisgusted as I was by the circumstances of the deaths of Archbishop Luwum and of the two Ugandan Cabinet Ministers. h Needless to say, the prevailing mood amori.^ my colleagues and throughout Australia is one of horror at this latest outrage. We made our concern known in Kampala after the Archbishop's arrest and before his death, and we shall make our views known there again now. You will, I imagine, share my feelings of extreme distaste at the prospect that we might have to sit in conference with Idi Amin at the forthcoming Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in London. I am writing to you to express my strong hope that we shall in fact not be faced with Amin's atten- dance at the meeting. I should like you to know that you can count on my support for moves to discourage Amin from coming to London. " Yours sincerely, f ? (E.J. Bunting) The Rt Hon James Callaghan, MP ,-r -If
