Carrie Ramsaroop (Minister of Parliament), 14/6/78, Sharon, Anita [Kelley], Tim J [Jones]

-said he had spent a long time in Port Kaituma at a conference talking to some of our members and it was a good talk

-he was very friendly, he is not a contentious man, kind of easy going, you feel he wouldn’t be one to raise a hand against you, tho I don’t know that he would ever fight for you, he doesn’t appear to have any fight in him

-he said he has wanted to come and visit Jonestown and would do so when he has more time (after the referendum)

-I gave him our booklet, Model Community and told him we wanted to see him today so that if there is any way we can improve he can give us feed back/ he said we were doing a good job

-regarding the conspiracy, he says he always reads our letters, doesn’t put much stock in what our enemies say about us/ said something about receiving some scurilous attack against us from some magazine

-I asked him who sent the attack but he said he didn’t recall, I asked if he could fi nd out and then he said it was us that sent it to him (sent something to him about what our enemies are saying)

-he said when you are doing good people will attack you

-I asked if he could come for dinner and he said yes after July 10th

-he didn’t hurry us up, seemed to be willing to talk/ I showed him the letter Mrs. Carter wrote JJ, and gave him the picture of JJ and Mrs. Carter

-I talked about Tim SToen and what he is doing and he said “yes,” in a hostile way against Tim Stoen and I showed him the letter of Kendra Alexander saying that Tim Stoen said he’d pay her if she would lie against us/ he acted disapproving of this (he seemed as if he was willing to hear our position or just doesn’t like conflict)

-gave him the letters ofsupport from Willie Brown and Harvey Milk
