INTERIOR: Olympic Committee Chairman Lord Killanin speaking 1.02 Lord Killanin said his group was making no threats to Canada, but he declined at a news conference to say under what circumstances the IOC would withdraw recognition of the Montreal Games. Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau called on the IOFC to extend to Canada the same rights given to Italy in 1960 when Taiwan was told by the IOC it must compete in the Rome Olympics as Taiwan and not as the Republic of China. Canada recently recognised the People's Republic of China. KILLANIN: "If there had been any reservations in the answer about the admission of national olympic committees due to political changes, Montreal would not have been given the games as opposed to Los Angeles or Moscow".
