LV ZOOM in to CU Canadian pavilion at EXPO '67 3.27 TRANSCRIPTS: SEQ. 6: TETRAULT: "WELL, I think it's the beginning of a new wave of terrorism and revolutionary action by the movement, in line with its policies of attacking the Confederation and Federal Government on all levels". REPORTER: "Do you think they are desperate enough to kill a hostage?". TETRAULT: "I don't think it would be a matter of being desperate. I am just thinking that from the F.L.Q. point of view it would be a purely military action." SEQ. 8: LEMIEUX: "I suggest that the Federal Government wants to settle this problem at best with armed confrontation with the F.L.Q. and at worst with the execution of Mr. Cross." SEQ. 10: TRUDEAU: "We stand firm -- this current situation will soon pass. We will be able to say proudly, as we have for decades, that within Canada there is ample room for opposition and dissent, but none for intimidation and terror." SEQ. 13: LEMIEUX: "I was given a mandate to discuss the modalities of application of six conditions. The six conditions have been completely refused. The Government used its fancy language saying it is not prepared to free all political prisoners". Initials WLW/ML/PS/1430 WLW/ML/PS/1600 BETA NX183 Script is copyright Reuters Limited.
