Gordon C. Wong,
SENIOR ADVISER TO THE YEAR
OF THE CHILD,
Apartment 302, 494 Runnymede Road,
Toronto M6S
2Z5,
Ontario, Canada,
December 1,
1981.
Gentlemen:
I am
enclosing a copy of my last letter to Prime Minister Trudeau (along with a copy of the reply), for you--Mr. Clark, and for you--Mr.
Broadbent.
I trust that Mr.
Gorecki has fulfilled his expressed intentions in that
reply, and the Prime Minister has read this letter.
As i
believe you will all see, a more direct reply from Prime
Minister Trudeau seems to be
anticipatable under those circumstances.
I have delayed
submission of these documents to you, Mr. Clark, and you, Mr.
Broadbent, until this date, in deference to this
probability.
However, as the reply i anticipate(d) has not
arrived and the circumstances continue to develop; i have taken
additional steps in these matters, respectful of the sensitivity
of the issues and aware of the responsibilities of appropriate
diplomatic procedure.
I have made an extremely detailed submission to President Carter in Atlanta: that submission contains copies of my two most recent letters to Prime Minister Trudeau; a copy of the letter to Premier Bennett; a copy of the October 6, 1981 letter to Prime Minister Begin and (the late) President Sadat; uncompleted rough drafts of the letters to President Breshnev and Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, Yehuda Blum; a copy of the 'Supplementary Record of Claim' for the Unemployment Insurance Commission; and as well, a 14 page letter to the President 'on the record' and several pages of comments 'off the record'.
I am sending Doctor Waldheim a
copy of this submission on December 1, 1981.
As well, for
your knowledge, additional copies have been sent to persons
involved in certain aspects of these matters who have the right
to this degree of knowledge of knowledge of these
circumstances, in order to allow them to ensure their own
integrity, their own safety, and in order to ensure that they
have the right to stand with those who agree with the central
objectives of these concerns...or in order to ensure that they
have the right to proceed no further, because of the
circumstances.
A copy has been released to an American newscaster as i mention in the letter to Prime Minister Trudeau, dated September, for the reasons expressed therein.
-I WOULD ONLY MENTION HERE,
IN DRAWING YOUR ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT AT THIS POINT IN 1981
IN THE EVOLUTION OF "(MY) PRESENT
SITUATION," I WAS PREPARING THE "INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC WORK...ON A DIRECT
BASIS" FOR THE WORLD'S CHILDREN SO THAT THOSE POPULAR
ENTERTAINERS CONTACTED ABOUT CONTRIBUTIONS TO IT IN AND BEYOND
1978...COULD BAIL (OUT)--NOT BE ASSOCIATED WITH IT--IF
THEY DECIDED IT HADN'T BEEN CONTINUED, BEYOND THEIR 1978
AWARENESS OF IT, AS WAS PROMISED AND DOCUMENTED AT THAT
TIME.
CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES AROSE IN 1990 CALLING FOR A
REITERATION OF THIS POLICY (BY ME).
TO SEE WHAT THEY WERE,
TAKE A BRIEF SIDESTEP
HERE.
