THE PRESIDENT CONCLUDED THAT AFTERNOON MEETING WOULD BE HELD TO DEVELOP FURTHER UNDERSTANDING OF THE SITUATION, AND THEN THE COUNCIL COULD DECIDE ON TIME NEEDED FOR FURTHER CON- SULTATIONS. INDONESIAN AMB SANI, WHO HAD BEEN EXPECTED TO SPEAK IN THE SC, DID NOT DO SO BECAUSE HE HAD NOT RECEIVED JAKARTA'S CLEARANCE OF TEXT. INDONESIANS ADVISED USUN THAT ALL "COMBAT TROOPS" WILL BE OUT OF EAST TIMOR BY END OF APRIL OR EARLY MAY WHEN ONLY INDONESIAN SERVICE UNITS (ROAD CONSTRUCTION, HEALTH, ETC.) WILL REMAIN. THEY PROVIDED USUN WITH REVISED WORKING PAPER FOR DRAFT SC RESOLUTION WHICH REFLECTS WITHDRAWAL OF "INDONESIAN ARMED VOLUNTEERS." SC PRESIDENT CIRCULATED TO COUNCIL MEMBERS TEXT OF CABLE FROM 55 AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENTARIANS URGING: THE SC TO CALL FOR INDONESIA TO WITHDRAW ITS FORCES FROM PORTUGUESE TIMOR WITHOUT DELAY; THAT UN PRESENCE BE ESTABLISHED THERE PROMPTLY; AND THAT ACCESS TO PORTUGUESE TIMOR BE PROVIDED AT ONCE FOR TEAMS OF THE INTERNATIONAL RED CROSS AND OTHER RELIEF AGENCIES IN AN EFFORT TO ALLEVIATE THE SUFFERING OF THE VICTIMS.

(LIMITED OFFICIAL USE -- USUN 1517) REACTION TO SECRETARY'S NEW YORK LOS SPEECH -- INITIAL REACTION TO SECRETARY KISSINGER'S APRIL 8 LAW-OF- THE-SEA SPEECH IN NEW YORK AND HIS MEETING WITH LOS CONFERENCE LEADERSHIP WAS FAVORABLE, BOTH AS TO SUBSTANCE AND AS TO IMPORTANCE OF INDICATION OF HIGH-LEVEL US INTEREST IN CONFERENCE BREAKTHROUGH NOW. THOSE WHO WANT OR ARE PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE KIND OF TREATY LIKELY TO EMERGE ARE ENTHUSIASTIC; THOSE WHO DO NOT, OR ARE UNCERTAIN ABOUT THE OUTCOME ON SPECIFIC ISSUES OF IMPORTANCE TO THEM, ARE NERVOUS. COMMITTEE I CHAIRMAN ENGO (CAMEROON) WAS VERY ENTHUSIASTIC OVER DEEP SEABEDS PROPOSALS. OTHER MAIN CONFERENCE OFFICERS WERE HAPPY, WITH POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF CANADA. BEESLEY (CANADA) CONTINUES MAKING THE POINT THAT US-SOVIET INSISTENCE ON THEIR STRAITS POSITION MEANS STRAITS STATES WILL NOT RATIFY THE CONVENTION. (CONFIDENTIAL -- USUN 1508) LAW OF THE SEA CONFERENCE -- CONFERENCE PRESIDENT AMERASINGHE (SRI LANKA) TOLD USDEL THAT TIME PERIOD OF JULY 19-SEPTEMBER 17 IS AVAILABLE IN GENEVA FOR SECOND 1976 SESSION OF THE LOS CONFERENCE, AND THERE IS TALK OF A SIX-WEEK SESSION WITHIN THAT PERIOD. THE PLENARY CONCLUDED DEBATE APRIL 12 ON PROCEDURES FOR SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES, AFTER HEARING VIEWS OF 71 DELEGATIONS SINCE DEBATE OPENED APRIL 5. THE PRESIDENT WAS AUTHORIZED TO PREPARE A NEGOTIATING CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 04 USUN N 01535 01 OF 03 130726Z TEXT ON DISPUTE SETTLEMENT FOR DISCUSSION IN INFORMAL PLENARY MEETINGS. GENERAL DEBATE ON PEACEFUL USES OF OCEAN SPACE IS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN IN PLENARY APRIL 19. DURING COMMITTEE 1 DISCUSSION OF SYSTEM OF ACCESS, US (RATINER) REITERATED US POSITION PROVIDING GUARANTEED ACCESS FOR STATES AND THEIR NATIONALS ON A NON-DISCRIMINATORY BASIS. HE NOTED THAT PROCESSING, TRANSPORTATION AND MARKETING WERE OUTSIDE THE COMPETENCE OF THE AUTHORITY, AND UNDERSCORED US OPPOSITION TO GRANTING THE AUTHORITY ANY RESPONSIBILITIES IN RESPECT OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. IN INFORMAL MEETINGS, THE COMMITTEE HAS TAKEN UP BRAZIL'S BANKING SYSTEM PROPOSAL, AND ALSO ENGAGED IN LENGTHY DEBATE ON "WAIVER OF SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY." COMMITTEE 1 CHAIRMAN ENGO (CAMEROON) PLANS TO DISTRIBUTE A REVISED SINGLE NEGOTIATING TEXT ABOUT THE SIXTH WEEK OF THE CONFERENCE, WHICH WILL BE DISCUSSED THROUGH THE END OF THIS SESSION. THE GROUP OF FIVE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THE JAPANESE-PROPOSED QUOTA SYSTEM WHICH WOULD APPLY ONLY WHEN THE AUTHORITY WAS CONSIDERING COMPETING APPLICATIONS. THE UK PRESENTED TO THE GROUP A NEW DRAFT ARTICLE ON TRIBUNAL, DESCRIBING IT AS AN ATTEMPT AT MIDDLE GROUND BETWEEN THE FRENCH POSITION FAVORING AD HOC ARBITRATION AND THE US POSITION FAVORING A PERMANENT TRIBUNAL. WHEN ASKED BY THE FRENCH WHY THE US MADE SUCH A STRONG STATEMENT IN COMMITTEE 1 AGAINST A QUOTA SYSTEM, US REPRESENTATIVE REPLIED THERE WAS CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOBBYING IN FAVOR OF A QUOTA SYSTEM WAS BEGINNING TO HAVE AN IMPACT WHICH COULD SERIOUSLY PREJUDICE THE US POSITION. THE FRENCH HAVE SAID THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT A LOS TREATY THAT PERMITS THE US TO MONOPOLIZE DEEP SEABED MINING AND ARE PRESSING FOR SOME SORT OF AREA LIMITATION SYSTEM APPLICABLE TO DEVELOPED STATES, A VIEW SHARED TO SOME DEGREE BY THE USSR AND JAPAN AND STRONGLY OPPOSED BY THE US. IRRECONCILABLE POSITIONS CONTINUE TO BE SUPPORTED IN COMMITTEE II BY LANDLOCKED AND GEOGRAPHICALLY DISADVANTAGED STATES (LL/GDS), ON THE ONE HAND, AND STATES SEEKING AN ECONOMIC ZONE HAVING JURIDICAL FEATURES MUCH LIKE THOSE OF THE TERRITORIAL SEA. BRAZIL AND ARGENTINA STATED THEY WERE HARDENING THEIR POSITIONS IN RESPONSE TO UNREASONABLE CLAIMS OF LL/GDS.

COMMITTEE III VICE CHAIRMAN RIVAS (COLOMBIA) EXPLAINED THAT HIS COMMITTEE WAS WORKING IN TWO GROUPS OF INFORMAL MEETINGS, AND HE TRUSTED THIS WOULD HELP SPEED NEGOTIATIONS SO THE COMMITTEE COULD MEET ITS APRIL 15 DEADLINE FOR COMPLETION OF INITIAL DISCUSSION OF THE SINGLE NEGOTIATING TEXT. PRESIDENT AMERASINGHE (SRI LANKA) COMMENTED THAT IT APPEARED COMMITTEE II, CONCERNED WITH GENERAL ASPECTS OF THE LAW OF THE SEA, WAS "LAGGING BEHIND." HE SUGGESTED THAT, ON SPECIAL ISSUES WHERE SHARP DIVERGENCE OF OPINION EXISTED AMONG A FEW STATES, THE CHAIRMAN MIGHT ORGANIZE SMALL GROUPS FOR DISCUSSION OF ISSUES BEFORE THEY WERE RAISED IN FULL COMMITTEE.

(LIMITED OFFICIAL USE -- USUN 1532) BEGIN UNCLASSIFIED SECURITY COUNCIL -- EAST TIMOR AS THE SECURITY COUNCIL RESUMED CONSIDERATION OF THE SITUATION IN EAST TIMOR APRIL 12, IT HEARD STATEMENTS BY THE REPRESENTATIVE OF PORTUGAL AND, UNDER RULE 39, BY HORTA, MINISTER FOR EXTERNAL RELATIONS AND INFORMATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF EAST TIMOR AND BY GONCALVES, CHAIRMAN OF THE ADVISORY COUNCIL OF THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF EAST TIMOR. THE SC HAS BEFORE IT THE SYG'S REPORT REGARDING THE ON-THE-SPOT ASSESSMENT MADE BY HIS SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE WINSPEARE. IT ALSO HAS AN APRIL 8 LETTER FROM INDONESIA (S/12044) TRANSMITTING A COMMUNICATION FROM ARAUJO, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT, REQUESTING UN AID IN OBTAINING INFORMATION ON THE FATE OF 254 PERSONS SAID TO HAVE BEEN TAKEN HOSTAGES BY FRETILIN. THE DEBATE WILL CONTINUE APRIL 14. HORTA, OF FRETILIN, WHO SPOKE FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR, CHARGED THAT THE "FASCIST MILITARY GOVERNMENT OF JAVA" INCREASED ITS ATTACKS AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF EAST TIMOR, AND THE INDONESIAN "INVASION" HAD BEEN FOLLOWED BY "ATROCITIES EQUALED ONLY BY THE ATROCITIES PERPETRATED BY THE INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT ON ITS OWN TERRITORY IN 1965 AND 1966," INCLUDING USE OF CHEMICAL AND BACTERIOLOGICAL WARFARE CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 04 USUN N 01535 02 OF 03 130803Z AND EXECUTION OF FOREIGN JOURNALISTS. HE CHALLENGED THE INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT TO ALLOW FREE ENTRY TO OBSERVERS TO SEE THE TRUTH FOR THEMSELVES. HORTA DESCRIBED A VARIETY OF FACTORS WHICH MADE EAST TIMOR ETHNICALLY, CULTURALLY AND HISTORICALLY DISTINCT FROM THE REST OF INDONESIA. THE PEOPLE OF EAST TIMOR MIGHT, HE SAID, IN EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT TO SELF-DETERMINATION, CHOOSE TO SEAL THEIR DESTINY WITH THE PEOPLE OF INDONESIA, BUT THAT COULD NOT HAPPEN UNDER THE USE OF FORCE. HIS GOVERNMENT WOULD COOPERATE WITH THE UN TO FIND A JUST SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM WHICH WOULD BE IN THE INTERESTS OF ALL PARTIES CONCERNED. GALVAO TELES (PORTUGAL) DEPLORED THE FACT NOTHING HAD BEEN DONE TO END THE FOREIGN MILITARY OCCUPATION OF EAST TIMOR AND PREPARE THE TERRITORY FOR THE REAL EXERCISE OF SELF-DETERMINATION. CHARGING THAT INDONESIA WAS TRYING TO PRESENT THE SC WITH A FAIT ACCOMPLI, HE SAID THE SC COULD NOT ALLOW THIS SITUATION TO CONTINUE, AS IT WOULD CREATE A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT IN THE DECOLONIZATION OF SMALL TERRITORIES AND FOR INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS GENERALLY. HE MENTIONED THE 23 PORTUGUESE MILITARY MEN BEING HELD BY THE SO-CALLED PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. HE STATED THAT THE MANDATE ENTRUSTED TO THE SYG SHOULD BE EXTENDED AND CONSULTATIONS CONTINUED. PORTUGAL WOULD FAVOR THE CONVENING OF A CONFERENCE, WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF ALL PARTIES CONCERNED, UNDER UN AUSPICES, TO CONSIDER SUCH MATTERS AS THE WITHDRAWAL OF INDONESIAN FORCES, THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CEASEFIRE, ADMINISTRATION OF EAST TIMOR DURIN THE INTERIM PERIOD, AND CONDITIONS FOR THE EXERCISE OF SELF- DETERMINATION. PORTUGAL, HE TOLD THE SC, WAS PREPARED TO COOPERATE FULLY WITH THE UN IN THE SOLUTION OF THIS PROBLEM. GUILHERME GONCALVES, REPRESENTING THE PFOVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF EAST TIMOR, DESCRIBED (IN SPEECH READ IN ENGLISH BY CARRASCOLAO) FRETILIN'S CRIMES AT LENGTH AND SAID THAT JOSE GONCALVES, A FORMER FRETILIN "MINISTER" WAS A MEMBER OF THE PRESENT PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT DELEGATION, AND ALL "LIES" DISSEMINATED BY HORTA COULD BE CHECKED WITH HIM. THE PORTUGUESE, HE SAID, COULD NOT WASH THEIR HANDS IN INNOCENCE AND PLEAD "NOT GUILTY" BEFORE THE INTERNATIONAL CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 05 USUN N 01535 02 OF 03 130803Z JURY "FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT THEY ARE THE ONES WHO HANDED OVER THEIR ARSENAL TO THE FRETILIN, THEIR FORMER COLONIAL TROOPS." FURTHER, THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE PORTUGUESE GOVERNOR AND GARRISON TO ATAURO SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED IN MORE DETAIL IN SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE WINSPEARE'S REPORT "BECAUSE THIS WAS A BETRAYAL OF THE INNOCENT MAJORITY OF EAST TIMOR". HE EXPRESSED APPRECIATION TO THE SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE MANNER IN WHICH HE TRIED TO CARRY OUT THE TASK ENTRUSTED TO HIM, AND SAID INFORMATION THAT FRETILIN HAD PLANNED TO AMBUSH WINSPEARE HAD LATER BEEN CONFIRMED BY CAPTURED FRETILIN MEMBERS. THERE WAS NO LONGER ANY PORTUGUESE ADMINISTERING AUTHORITY IN DILI OR ATAURO, AND THE REMNANTS OF FRETILIN LEADERSHIP WHO STILL REFUSED TO BE RECONCILED COULD NOT "ESCAPE THE HOUR OF JUDGMENT OF THE PEOPLE". GONCALVES SAID THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE 23 PORTUGUESE PRISONERS; THEY HAD FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT IN THE VILLAGE WHERE THEY WERE LOCATED, AND SOME OF THEM HAD CONFESSED TO "CRIMES" AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF TIMOR. THIS WAS A POLITICAL RATHER THAN HUMANITARIAN PROBLEM. THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT WAS READY TO DISCUSS THIS AND OTHER ISSUES ANY TIME THE PORTUGUESE GOVERNMENT WANTED TO DO SO, AND IF A SPIRIT OF CONCILIATION AND RESPONSIBILITY PREVAILED HE WAS SURE THE MATTER COULD BE SETTLED SATISFACTORILY. AS FAR AS THE PEOPLE OF EAST TIMOR WERE CONCERNED, THEY HAD DECLARED THEMSELVES INDEPENDENT AND INTEGRATED WITH INDONESIA, "AND THEREFORE, AS INDONESIANS, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE PROTECTED BY FELLOW INDONESIANS", GONCALVES STATEMENT CONTINUED. THE PRESENCE OF INDONESIAN VOLUNTEERS IN EAST TIMOR WAS AT THE REQUEST OF THE PEOPLE, AND WAS NOT AN UNUSUAL PROCEDURE -- THERE HAD BEEN MANY INSTANCES WHEN AID WAS SENT LONG DISTANCES, INCLUDING ACROSS CONTINENTS AND OCEANS. THE VAST MAJORITY OF EAST TIMORESE WERE REPRESENTED BY THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT'S FOUR POLITICAL PARTIES. HIS GOVERNMENT HOPED THE UN WOULD SEND OBSERVERS TO WITNESS THE EXERCISE OF THE RIGHT OF SELF-DETERMINATION AND THAT THE TRADITIONAL METHODS OF HIS PEOPLE IN TAKING DECISIONS THROUGH CONSULTATION COULD BE CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 06 USUN N 01535 02 OF 03 130803Z ACCEPTED. THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT UNDERSTOOD THAT CERTAIN FORMALITIES HAD TO BE MET TO MAKE ITS INDEPENDENCE AND INTEGRATION WITH INDONESIA EFFECTIVE, BUT THE PEOPLE OF EAST TIMOR, AND THEY ALONE, SHOULD DECIDE ON THE PROCEDURES, GONCALVES CONCLUDED.
