SECRET here would be the risk, referred to above, that President Amin could claim that Uganda was being excluded from representation at the CHGM altogether. In these circumstances HM Government would have to make it clear to Commonwealth Member Governments, the Commonwealth Secretary-General, and probably in a public statement as well, that HM Government had denied clearance to the aircraft carrying President Amin, but remained ready to give entry to a Ugandan delegation led by a special representative appointed by President Amin. F€O/agreed that if possible an aircraft carrying President Amin should be directed to Brize Norton, or, ayfcer tivsly, .Heathrow. Pull regard should be paid to all safety procedures. Any risk of placing an aircraft arrying President Amin, and his entourage, in hazard should be scrupulously avoided. Paragraph 13 The action in a, b and c should be carried out with as much courtesy and discretion on the British side as possible. President Amin should be allowed to have one or two personal aides with him in his own company, even if separated from the rest of the party. — 2 — SECRET
