We Should Not Have Kiiled Morp
P' :n PANORADtA in Italian 21 Nov 78 pp 44-47
[~rCicle by Pino Buongiorno]
[Textj In a secret summit in Yugoslavia, whose acxiony are di~closed here
by PANORArtA, the representatives of terrorism in nine counCries, including
the I~ed Brigades, have held a meeting for self-criCicism. They came up
with a new coordinated world stra~egy. -
It began with a brief, moving tribute to the memory of "Comrade" Waddih
Haddad, chief of "Special Operations" for the Popular Front for the Lib- _
eration of Palestine, who died last March of cancer in an�East Berlin hos-
pital and is now regarded as the "brains" of international terrorism.
_ lt concluded with warm embracing and a batCle cry in unison, with clenched _
fists raised on high: "Onward in the sCruggle f~r the world's liberation
from imperialism."
_ Between the invocation and the farewells there were 12 hours of uninter-
r~ipted discussion: profound analysis of the more spectacular revolutionary _
activities, first place being given to the Via Fani Massacre and the assas-
sination of Ald~ Moro, chairman of the Christian Democrats, by the Red -
Brigades; a coldblooded resume of the successes and failures of recent years,
a criL�ical review of a number of outmoded theories, and a mapping of the
most incisive sor.C of revolutionary plans.
It was a summit of Terrorism International. A decisive meeting for revolu- -
- tionary organizations all over ttie world, which, as secreC Cheoretical
_ statements have indicated from time to time, are faced with a new phase of ~
"popular warfare" 10 years after the first revolutionary shots were fired.
PANOR~tA is now in the position to disclose the enkire agenda of this top
secret summit, which could mark a turning point iq the escalation of ter-
rorism; these agenda are frequently harsh and inflaMatory, as are the -

pnlit~.ca1 and mil~.t~ry decisiona, This reconsCruction ie based on informa- -
~ tion garhered From inPormanCs of Che Pale~st~.nian resistance in BeiruC and
Bughd~d nnd n lengthy report (ntne pngea Cypewrittett in Arabic) ChaC one
' of thn pnrCicipanCs in rhe meeting wroCe up in u form closely resembling
- minutes. PANORArtA h~s gAined po~session of rhis report, which is an ex-
clusive for PANORAMA, ~he Palestinian ALQObS PRESS of Beirut and AL WATAN,
a Kuwn~.r daily.
First merely con~ectured as a theory, then gradually confirmed by Che
repor.r of various terrorists Chat had been taken prisoner, ehere is not
- on1.y a theoretical buC an operatic~nal col.laboration (involving mueual -
support and ,joint action) between Che various clandestine groups of in-
Cernational Cerrorists, for whtch Che stlmmit meeting provides incontest-
- able proof. -
- Convened on L October ir~ ~ gmaii vi~.lage of Yugosl~via, ~ust a few miles
from Che Italian border (the name of the place ia y~iled in ab~olute
secrecy), the summiC meeting brought together nine representatives of
_ well-known revolutionary organizations. In order to enter Yugoslavia
quieCly and avoid Che surveillance of internatiuna~ securiCy agencies,
the nine revolutionaries touched down at ports and sirporCs haliway around
_ Che world, taking long, t~rtuous routes. For example, Che Palestinian who
parCicipated in the meeting left Beirut by auto, traveled to Algiers, took
a plane to P~ris. AfCer a brief stopover in the French capitol, he took a
train and motorcar to the secret location.
All of the cielegates used code names and me~ in a small apartment rented ~
in advance, carrying on mosC of the discussion in English with a~con3id-
erable admixture of French and Spanish. In addition Co the Palestinian~,
who belonged Co an extremist group not affiliated with Yasser Arafat's PLO, ~
there were representatives of the Sandinista Liberat~on Front of Nicara~ua,
a Japanese representaCive of the Red Army, a German from the Red Army Fac- _
tion, an Irish representative of the IRA, an Alger~an, a Spaniard and an
Argentine of unidentified affiliations--and of couxse a delega~te of the
Red Brigades. The latCer's code name was SCefano, a tall, athletic, vi-
vacious cultured person.
At the center of attention wer~ the Red Brigades and their sensational
pro~ect of last ].6 March. As came out almost immediately, in one of the
firsr discussions, the summit had importance as an occasion to analyze
= the Moro incident irom both its political and its military aspects. One
question that was put by the Argentine delegate, Rodolfo, uras this: "To -
- what extent does a guerilla activity such as that of the Red Brigade~~ come
close to a full-scale revoluCion?"
After~very lively discussion of this, the final decision was highly critical
of the Red Brigades and Italian terrorism in genera~. "When revolutionary ~
organizations engage in activities such as the kidnaping and murder of Moro,"
, noted the Algerian representative, Bakr, "then they are getting ahead of

- themaeLves and are in dattge~ of blowing the whole thing. This is what
happened in Uruguay with Che Tupamarns, and ChaC is what is happen3ng
in Italy wiCh Che Red Br~.gades."
' Why? The response, which was freely admirted ro be sens~,tional, came
~ from Stefano himself. "ICaly," he said at a certain point, "is a repub-
1ic of such an open nature that iC is easy for us Co hit anyone, when and -
where we wish. It frequently gives Che impression of being shaeCered and -
on the brink of disaster. BuC Chis is only a surface impression. Even
afrer Moro's execution the country gave evidence of real stabiliCy and
self-control. The political consequences of the anti-Moro action were
fully exploiCed by the Communists and the Christian Democrats in such a
way that Che regime was not weakened in any way."
- When Chis type of self-criticism was applied to the situation in Nicaragua, -
rhe representative of Che Sandinista Army ~oined in, adding Chat as far as
- his organization was concerned "Chere was inadequate reaction by the masses
Co the high military level of the army, so that the power of DictaCor
Anastasio Somoza remained for all purposes intact."
Both Che acCion of the Red Brigades against Moro and that of "Commander
Cero" who occupied the Nicaraguan Chamber of Deputies and held the legis- -
. lators hoseage, were regarded as "ahead of schedule." Gommented Rodolfo,
the Argentine, "It is this type of operation that confirms world opinion
as to our being ~ust terrorists." _
' Even though more than one person remembered the famous saying of the Brazilian
commando, Carlos Marighella--"Tu be a terrorist in our day is something that
brings honor to anyone fighting for what is good"--the nine commandoes de-
clared agreement that a revolutionary movemenC must be created thaC is linked
to the masses. "Terrorism is not our way, but that of imperialism, and we
have nothing to do with terrorism," said Rodolfo. "We are not mercenaries
or ~anissaries of the revolution. We are revolutionaries of a given country,
seeking to inflict wounds on imperialism wherever we are. It is our ~ob to
ignite revo].ution and lead it on to victory. Igniting revolution is a~,ro-
_ fession, after all."
To keep from making mistakes at a time when the situation threatens to become
bottled up, caused as much as anything by the "personalism of Carlos," that
_ invincible hero ~f some of the most sensational terrorist activities in re"~ ~
cent years, which, as has been claimed by the Palestinian Qassim, "could very
_ ~;ransform the revolutionary left into a cult of personality, almost
- anoC~~er Che Guevera but lacking his theorizing talents and his capacity as a
man of action," the moment has come, according to this council of interna-
= tional terrorism that met in Yugoslavia, to begin establishing some cardinal
principles and to have two "control mechanisms" for ccmmando activit�~es.
"Only t!~us," the various delegates stated, "will it be possible in the near
future to decide who the true revolutionaries are, and who are merely simple -
. terrorists."

= The first principle is ~hat defined as ehe "double sysrem." This ca11s
upon rhe organizntions to bal~?nce rheir technical preparntion against :
their nbility Co conrrol the resulrs of eheir AtCF1CIC8 on the state.
"Otherwise," Rodolfo mainCained, "we can introduce into the poli.ticA1 ~
arena cerrain forces that are extraneous to ehe revoluCionary mnvemenC,
such us the secret services or Che reacCionaries, such as has happened _
~ in Ttaly after Moro was killed. The action of the Brigades was perfected
~nd highly advnnced aC Che military level, while ite political effects were
_ to virtually turn people againsC the Red Brigades. Besides provoking a
wave nf arresCs, Che operation was noti operative in the choice of occasions,
_ in evaluaCion of tihe sociopolitical gituation, or ~n the maCter of managing .
its effects."
_ A second principle ia Chat which might be called "the auConomous revolu-
Cionary capacity." According to the technical stat~dards of the group of
commandoes who met in Yugoslavia, every organizatiqp must have "a capacity
~o make autonomous political decisions and Co put ~hem into effect," to
have "iCs own financial nnd military resources," tq be "independent of
- other forces wiChin and ouCside the country in which it is operating, buC
not to be independent of the masses." In this sense, the Red Army Faction ~
man suggested, "It would be useful to continue the seizure of w211-known ~
- politicians or rich businessmen in order to provide for a sel.f-supporting _
organization. BuC these operations should not become an ob~ective that is
. politically ~ustified on the premise of confiscating money to give to an -
exploited and oppressed populace." -
For participanCs at the terrorist summiC there is one other risk that
should not be run: that of thinking that "a second Vietnam" is possible.
Said the representative of the Japanese Red Army, internationalizing any
- domestic revolution, as happened in Vietnam, is impossible, since today
the world situation is characterized by a peaceful coexistence between _
the United States and the USSR. It is krua that the Soviets give aupport
- ~ for reinforcing revolutionary enterprises, but such assistance will arrive
only when the internal warfare has alieady been decided, tiever as an impetus
that influences the victory in question."
So what will happen in the coming months? The nins commandoes arrived at a
unanimously approved decision. ~dith respect to the summit meeting held in
- West Germany in 1975, which established "the unity of revolutionary forces -
against tfie united forces of imperialism" (in this sense, the kidnaping of
OPEC conference participants at Vienna on 21 December 1975 was a practical _
application of this theory, with the direct participaCion af commandoes
coming from a variety of countries but under the leadership of Carlos),
= the Yugoslav summit moved to adopt a new principle that might be de�ined
- as "simultaneous revolutionary effort." The idea is to strike at the same _
_ targets in several countries at the same time. This way, according to the
- nine terrorists, not only will the principal enemy of the "prolPtarian
revolution" be made fully visible to everyone, bri~ging the hesitant and
uncommitted into the conflict, but contact wi11 be maintained with the ~

- Milan PANORAMA in Ital3an 28 Nov 78 p 60
_ [Artic le by Pino Buongiorno)
[Text] AfCer PANORAMA's discZoaures, all the coun~erespionage cE~nters are
- on the alert.
Dozens of "operative agec~ts" have been set loose in Europe. The most reli-
able "sourcea" have been "sensitizec~" in the Middlp Ease. All of rhe coun- "
- terespionage centers in Italy have been put in a s~ate of alert, especially
on the northeast frontier. The collaboration of f~iendly secret service
, organizaCions has been requested.
A�ter lasC week's disclosures by PANORAMA on a summit of nine "delegaCes"
= of worldwide terrorist organizations, including the Red Brigades, a meeting
held in early October in Yugoslavia, in a village thus far unidentified
close to the Italian border, the two new espionage and counterespionage
agencies, SISDE [Intelligence for Democratic SecuriCy] SISMI [Intelligence
Service for Military Security] have gone to work on the case.
The agency heads have a dossfer of evidence on their desks. This contains
- a tip-off supplied to them in mid-Gctober by a Western European secret
service agency. Th~s report, while vague and defective, does indicate that
"representatives of various terrorist organizations will meet in early . -
Octobe r at the border between a socialist and a ca~italist country." A
~ quick investigation made at the time did not uncov~s;r anything to verify
this "rumor," merely indicating that "the scone of ;:he investigation is -
too extensive."
Now, in the light of new factors, better success is hoped for. "We have
� also requested the asssistance of the Yugoslavs," an official. of the secre~
services told PANORAMA. "Not only are we trying to find the place where the
meeting was held, but also to identify who participated, especially the
Italian representative of the Red Brigades."
The earliest reactions of the Yugoslav administiation were negative, at
times indignant. "Utter r.onsense," was the reaction of Mirko Kalezic, ~
_ official spokesman of the Beigrade government to the information gathered
by PANORAMA from qualified and highly reliable sources in the Palestinian
resistancQ movement in Beirut and Baghdad. Kalezic himself stated that

"the terrorisrs have naver he1.d tiheir meeting3 on Yugoslnv ~terrttory and
never wi11. "
_ These statements were probably prompted by the fear ~f being involved wirh
- international terrorism, even though the minutes of the summix, writCen in -
Arabic, which fell into the h~nds of PANORAMA aC Beirut, are quite clear
in explicitlq affirming "the meeting was held secretly and was of course
unknown Co the Yugoslav authorieies."
J
But there are also denials that obviously conCradict recen.t events in which .
Yugoslavia was a ma3or partiicipanC. In May of this year, for example, an -
arrest was made at Zagabria, on a tip-off by the German police, of four
young men accused of being RAF terrorists (who were suddenly seC free on
rr;;day, 17 November). On the occasion of Che arreets the German auChor-
ities disclosed that "these four were setting up a aecret conference on
- terrorism."
Furthermore, Italian InCerior Minister Virginio Rpgnoni, an an official -
visiC to Belgrade 3 and 4 November, confirmed the reporC Chat Yugosl~via -
_ is the pref erred hiding place for terrorists. "On~ of the ob~ectives of
my trip," said Rognoni during an intermission in his meetings with his
Yugoslav colleague Fran~io Herl3evic, "is to obtain daCa for putting Co-
. gether a kind of 'international map of terrorism,' which wi11 take note =
_ of those countries where terrorism is most acCive and of those utilized
as a staging area, support zone, or meeting place." -
_ But in addition to the involvement of the Italian police, as well as other -
European police forces, in expediCiously blockading what is regarded as
"one of Che prf~~.cipal escape rouCes and thoroughfares taken by terrorists,"
the disclosure of the minutes of the Yugoslav summi~ permitted ~quite a
number of scholars and military experts to get a clearer pictuYe of con- _
nections between Che various groups and to assemble new and very important
data on the future plans of the terrorist movemenCs. "First of all," says
Luigi Bonanate, an international relations instructor at xhe University of -
Turin and editor of the forthcoming book, DIMENSIONS OF POLITICAL TERRORISM,
"on the basis of information reported by PANORAMEI, the concept of the con-
spiratorial nature of international terrorism seems to fall into place. -
Act~sally, r_here would not seem to be any one cente~ providing guidance for
the various organizations in their respective countries, so much as there
is a common ideology and a common enemy, imperialism, which acts as a
cement for their coordination~and unity."
_ According to other experts interviewed by PANORAMA, there is really nothing
novel about the decisions made by the nine commando groups after they had _
established certain "control mechanisms" to guide future actions, when they _
adoptecl as a guiding principle that of "simultaneous revolution" (i.e., a
coordination nf simultaneou~ activities in several countries to achieve the
same ob~ectives), also identiffed in recent studies as "global terrorism."
This is a strategy, it will be noted, which is almost inherent to the

pe~ialist bourgeoisie--constituCe undeniable reference points in our
struggle, with respect Co which iti is necessary to develop, as much as is

Having admitted Chat "this problem has been undere$CimaCed" Chus far, the
, Red lirigades documenC concludes: "Political integration does not signify -

confrontation and a cor.stanC search for tactical a~d strategic plans on ~

_ time in predicting what would happen at the Yugoslav summit in October--

Combret: Giscard's File
- "That man at least will be a minister one day~" Valery Giscard
d'Estaing retorted sharply to a sccffer in 1974 who was making
fun of the austere visage of Francois Ponge de Combret~ one of -
Giscard's favored colleagues. 4 years later~ on 30 November
1978~ Combret b~came deputy secretary general of the Elysee
Palace. All reports on internal policy matters ~ust go through
his turquoise-paneled office. The ministers have to get along
with him. Now~ at 37~ he is one of the most powerful and one
- of tne most played up to men in France. ~
"Instead of that ~ why not go to work for a~rhile at ~the Rue de
Rivoli?" suggested Lucieil Paye~ head of the Court of Accounts~ ~
_ to his first class official~ Combret~ who Yiad come in to tell
him of his intention to get out of government and go into pri-
vate industry. The young ENA LNational School of Administratio)
graduate hesitated~ then agreed. The minister of finance at
that time was no other than Giscard d'Estaing~ whom Combret -
- already admired. So~ a little by chance~ began a lengthy
collabora ~ion.

On 15 December 1978~ facing Jean-Francois Poncet, the new -
minister of foreign affairs appearing at the Na~ional Assembly
for the first time, it was ~,~3oinie who, speakir~~ for his group~
denounced the Common Market expansion. On 29 December~ it was
_ again La~oinie~ along with Charles Fiterman~ who represen~ed
the PCF at Bownediene's funeral~ with whom the French communists
had been on excellent terms. Already the rumor was circulating
in party circles that this trusted adviser of Georges Marchais
_ might reach the party secretari~t, the communist holy of holies~
by Apri1. And that in June he might even lead the PCF slate
for the European elections.
At the starc of the career of this 49-year old Correze farmer
was a bludgeoning and a firm friendship with Waldeck Rochet.
- The bludgeon attack came in July 1958~ during a demonstration ~
against the Algiers Public Safety Committee~ and left him
knocked out on the Brive pavemen~. After recovering from
surgery~ he decided to get more deeply involved in the party~
of which he had already been an active member for 10 years.

create difficulties~ "We no longer fiave the ~lysee or Ma~ignon~

screws even harder."
Right af ter the campaign for the presidency of the Natiianal
Assembly, in which ~he Chirac candida~e~ Ed~ar F'aure, was
d~featied~ Toubon pleaded unsuccessfully for the exclusion of
A1ain Peyrefitte, accused of having "ostensibly campaigned"
for Chaban-Delmas. A bout to be continued later?
Toubon plays two vital roles in the RPR: heading the federations,
, the strike force of the movement� and preparing for elections~
in close liaison with Pierre Jui~let and Marie~France Garaud.
In the most recent legis~.ative elections the RPR kept a gold-
edged dis~rict for him in Lyons, the Lou~s Joxe district~ but
Chirac had to "offer" iti to Raymond Barre. Toubon had to
settle for being the substitute for Nicole de Hauteclocque in
the 15th arrandissement in Paris. A sea~ that is being kept
quite warm for him.
~'or ~he moment, Toubon is working on the 1979 elections the
cantonal elec~ians first of a~l. There are two important
races: Calvados, where the Giscard party may take the presi-
dency of the general council from the RPR; and Correze~ Chirac's

Teem"j -
(Text] Here t?e ia alone, once more, on the fifth floor of Che h~adquarters -
of Che PS [Socia~.ist party~, Place du Palais Bourbon [~ddress~, in hig
scn~ll office which looks out on the gar6ens of the ~rench Ministry of
Defense. ~'rencois Mitterrand is geteing ready for what wi11 t~e one of the
tougheaC fighCa of hia political career. He knows that it is his control ~
- over the party which ia at etake now. Mitterrand is going for broke.
With his Caking stock over and over again, Francois Mitterrand retaina a
- calm exterior for all that. "At the congresa, CERE5 [Center for (Socialist)
Studies, Research, and Eduaation) will obtain 25 percent of the votes,
Arthur Notebart 10 percent. It would be very surpriaing if I did not pull
16 percent." Figure it out: This adds up to a total of 51 percent. The
deputy from Nievre bepartment (Mitterrand] concludes from thig, scoffing,
that Pierre Mauroy and Michel Rocard cannot bring together Che ma~ority
oF the parCy behind them. Why, then~ grant concessions to them?
~rancois MiCterrand was already making this pro~ection when he believed
that Pierre Mauroy, his number two man for the past 7 years, would end up
willy-nilly coming back to his aide. Mitterrand keeps him despite the -
"choice" of the Mayor of Lillie [Mauroyj who has decided to sCrike an agree-
- ment with Michel Rocard. It was last Wednesday [3 January 1979] at 1540
hours, when the third "conciliation" meeting of the PS executive began--
this time in the absence of its first secretary--that things abruptly be-
cnme clear.
"You were wrong in believeing that I would go to eleep before you," Pierre
Mauroy said right at the start to the followere of Francois Mitterrand.
"Naw tell ua what is at the beck of your minds. I note some deviations
in your delcarations, a aeakening in your position on Europe, for example.
I still strongly advocate an accommodation with you, but I wonder khether
you are not in the process of preparing an alliance With CEItES. Frankly,

Itacard, not th~se of C~It~5." A coincidence? On the same day LE MONDE
published g very long statement by Jean~Pierre ~evenement [head of
CER~S~ who, after treating Rocard as a"righr w~,~ger" and many ~thex thinga
Coo, stretched out hl,a l~gnd to Francoi3 Mitterrand. The SocialisC Party _
has decidedly entered a periad of great turbulenne where all realinement~
have become poasible.
How could Che team which carried the "leading party of France" ao far crack?
_ Why this meae7 UndoubCedly because, for the past few monCha, a twofold
logic of rupture has been pragreasing among the Socialist. On one hand
Francois Mitterrand, who is toying with the idea of running, if he has a
c~ance, in the presidential election of 1981, unquestionably plang to
retain control over the party apparaCus and to lead iCs policy-making.
_ On the other hand Michel Rocard, who nurses the same dLSigtis and who is
underrepresenCed in the organs of Che:5ocialiat Party, wanCs to have
greater influence in the future party leadership.
How about Pierre Mauroy? His heart has vacillated for a long time. On
the economic plane he is close to Francois Mitterrand. An advocate of na- -
ttonalization and planning, Mauroy is aC times bothered by the "rigidity"
of Rocard. Yee, but with Michel Rocard Che Maynr of Lille ha~ an o1d
friendship going back 20 years and Mauroy shares the same convictions as
Rocard on many other points. Both favor decentralizaCion, are very pro- ~
Europe, and they wigh td see a great 5ocialist Party, le~a "electoral"
but better enaconced among the working class and with closer ties to the
labor unions.
Deliberately Messianic, Michel Rocard was determined to do everything in
order to "adapt," as he calls it, the line af the Socialist Party. Pierre
Mauroy, who is not ecumenical on his part, dreaded having a dispute with
Francois Mitt~rrand. BuC when he grasped that Rocard would go all the -
way--even if he had to sacrifice his presidential ambitions by being in the
minority, abruptly leaving his old friend alone with the Mitterrand men-- 6l
well then the Mayor of Lille, who had acted as "arbiter," made up his mind.

down into factions. Firat Louia Mermaz filed his draft in which he assumed
the position of spokesman of Mi.tterrand-ist orthodoxy. On another level -
Lionel Jospin and Pierre Joxe preaented a unity-oriented and pro-European -
paper, to be sure, but they were against an "alinement with a European
Socialist Party." Jacques Delors in his paper stressed the overlaps among _
the factions rather than the divisions. The same goes for Charles-Emile
- Loo, who also called for acco~nodation. In short, there was a whole array
of po~ ' tions.
- Is the outgoing majority of the PS dead for good? NoC necessarily. While
a rapproachement seems Co be Caking shape between Francois Mitterrand and _
CEEt~S, it still remains possible thaC at the executive committee meeting
of 11 February 1979 the first secretary might reach an understanding with -
- Pierre Mauroy and Michel Rocard. At any rate, that is the wish of Gaston
Defferre and of many followers of Mitterrand who do not envision without
displeasure the prospect of being on the same team as Jean-Pierre Chevene-
menC, even Arthur Notebart, the last orphan of the SFIO [Frsnch Section of
~ the Workers International (French Socialist Party)].

ln fact, if it ig tru~ that cert~in aspectg of indugtrial innovativn ar~ not
direcCly linked to scientific dev~lopmettt, it is not less true thgt the
development nnd exploitation of new technologies such as transistors and in-
tegrated circuits, optical fibers, microprocessors and lasers are the direct
results of sCientific progress. Such discoveriea constitute radical innova-
tiona. They a11 open areas of possibiliey, and they could only result from
fundamental research of excellent quality. This, then, should play an impor-
tant role in all policies of technologicel dev~lopment. We muet increase
our scientific and technological cepital as has been done in other developed .
- countries. And France must keep her p1ac~ in this effort. Beyond the direct
economic interest, no one can deny that the brilliance of a nation is measured
by~ atr.ong other things, the quality of its men of ~cience.
More than ever, it is necessary to develop scientific research Co prepare for
the future.
A Crushing Comparison
In ~everal years, after a brilliant beginning, France has fallen to the
bottom of the great industrial nations in research. The comparison of France
with its principal competition is crushing.

Within the pregent socigl ContexC, ~ dracanian redistriburion of coneumptfon

"that g rise in ~xpangion ran be obe~in~d without gn overall increa~~ in
thp con~umptton of energy."
It wi11 therefore be neces~ary to acquire more of it while the market is
becoming more and more difficult. This impleg a coherent strategy of
diversification. To be dependent for 60 percent of one's petroleum, 45
percenC of which comes from the Near East, is too dangerous.
To be gure, within the last five years one can see a few favorable sign~: -
Itt our balance-sheet of energy resourees, oil has decregged by 5 percent
natur~l gas has increased by 2.5 percent. That is not enough. We should
already have achieved g more notable divergification oE our purcha~es abroad."
Beyond th~t, we must increase the proportion of aur national prnduction in
the balance-~heet of our energy resources. Our vb~ective: To have increased
it from 25 percent to 40 percent by 1985.
"France is a middle-sized rountry, not well provided by nature with sources
of energy."
Coa17 "Consumption has greatly increased in the electric power stations, to
the detriment of oil, but other users reject it more and more." In any case,
if its importance must increase in the future it will be due to imports.
"Our collieries furnish 10 percent of our energy needs, and we ��ill no longer
go beyond that figure. It Will, rather, go down."
