From-. THE PRIVATE SECRETARY HOME OFFICE QUEEN ANNE'S GATE LONDON SWiH 9AT 23 September 1977 PRESIDENT AMIN Since the Home Secretary's minute of 12 September to the Prime Minister about the possibility thac President Amin might travel via the United Kingdom on his way to the UN General Assembly in New York, officials have met and revised the contingency plans made for last June. Plans have been made to prevent President Amin's formal admission to the United Kingdom, and to ensure that if he does arrive he is sent on his way as quickly as possible and kept away from the Press and public during any time in transit. Arrangements are being made for suitable inter-airport transport and overnight accommodation, should these prove necessary. Apart from transport, there are no plans to deploy units of the armed services. I am sending copies of this letter to Stephen Wall (FCO), Roger Facer (MOD), Martyn Baker (D/Trade) and Martin Vile (Cabinet Office). R. M. MORRIS B. G. Cartlidge, Esq. C
