r - 2 - A bluff based on his children's security might, however it was worded, be taken or misrepresented as a threat to them, or to himself personally, by HMG. The Home Secretary (and he understands this view is shared by the Foreign Secretary) has also concluded that any attempt by compulsion or persuasion to remove the two children now would inevitably attract publicity in advance of removal, would be counter-productive and would hand President Amin the initiative for propaganda and for action. Since their presence does not help him to come here, the attempt would serve no purpose. In all the circumstances, therefore, the Home Secretary considers that, based on past experience, it is likely the children will leave of their own volition. Of course, he will meantime continue to keep the position under review. In addition, he has arranged that the standing instruction to ports to notify to headquarters the arrival of prominent Ugandans will be extended to ensure that no members of President Arnin's family should in future be admitted for any purpose without prior reference to the Home Secretary personally. Copies go to the Private Secretaries to the Foreign Secretar3' and the Secretary to the Cabinet. R. M. MORRIS Patrick Wright, Esq. - • — ' • - ' • > '••>....•' ii
