FRED WILLS:
VISITED BY; SHARON AMOS, DEB T., MIKE PROKES
-Minister Hope was caught trying to leave the country, the Prime Minister doesn’t want him to leave, so virtually he’s under house arrest. He thinks it’s essential to get revenu in, we are revenu. [Handwriting: “presently he’s left the country – in England in conference for finance min”]
-Wills said we should look at things this way: a) no Peoples Temple member has been thrown out of the country, only one case in court in four years, U.S. Govt. officials are friendly after being hostil in the beginning. Wills pointed out that if Blackman was leaving, naturally he wouldn’t be afraid to support us.
-Peoples Temple intergrated in the PNC, said P.T. were stars of the G/town conference, making cultural impact on the national scene.
-Wills thought we handled the political and cultural scene beautifully, said it would be at Guyana’s advantage to go for Jim(decission), the Peoples Temple is Jonestown in Guyana, said the P.T. likes the answers to lie in their hands, said all hes herd [heard] about us is good things lately, about our show.
-Reid doesn’t like to be bugged, he likes his own pace.
-“The Palace Policy” is if someone disagrees in cabnet and all other agree, Mrs. Burnham, for example won’t see Jim, (if one person disagrees in Parliment when a palacedecission is called for, and one disagrees, the answer is no.
-He understands Burnham has a Chinese option and the U.S. as a fourth option, (this in reference to Burnham’s travells in seek of monitary asst) if they do that it requires a Foreign Minister, and he has to know how to sundance..
-said the Govt, could take the money (US$), under the rug and curse capitalism in the next breath
-Cortiniv, (Ambassador of Russia) is frightened of us. (Peoples Temple)
-If he has the opportunity to prove the U.S. is bad with one thousand U.S. citizens here, and doesn’t, he loses face.
-Victor Chanko (#2Second first secretary-Russian Embassy) & Corvail (first Sec) said to be KGB
-Sharon asked him why didn’t he introduce us? (ref. Timofeyve introducing us to KGB)
-Wills said, “Well they sat in a room and watched you on the T.V. as you met.
-We took him some Mangos
-The parents of the young man who’s been bothering Bruce Oliver came to the house at Wills request, I gathered from the conversation. Will
-Wills warned them to tell their son to leave the Peoples Temple alone, said he was doing a criminal act to enter our property and look down in the peoples faces ect.
-Wills infered that the boy was doing it for money, she told him she had put no pressure on her son to bring money in the house, she supported herself. The father didn’t speak much about it.
-Stanley Moore came into the house, Stanley wrote Wills a cheque, I didn’t see the amount. Wills thanked him, Moore said thats the least I can do after all you’ve done for me. Wills used to teach law to Moore. They discussed Cricket, made fun of Redds Prerro on the Radio,
-Wills asked him to have a word with the Judge because be sees him often and knows him fairly well. Moore said he would speak to him and get back to Wills about it
