2. SUMMARY. THE GOT REMAINS ACTIVE AND ENGAGED IN
THE SEARCH FOR PEACE IN RWANDA, AND WOULD APPRECIATE
OUR INPUT. END SUMMARY.

I .4(D)
CHARGE AND POLOFF CALLED ON
TO DISCUSS THE RESULTS OF
ARUSHA IV AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT ROUND.
RECAPITULATED THE CONTENTS OF THE AGREEMENT CONTAINED
IN THE OCTOBER 30 PROTOCOL AND QUICKLY TURNED TO THE
QUESTION OF WHERE WE GO FROM HERE. HE NOTED THE
POLITICAL DIFFICULTIES EXTANT IN KIGALI AND INDICATED
THAT THE GOT WAS LOOKING AT POSSIBLE STEPS TO MOVE THE
PROCESS FORWARD. HE FELT THAT THE GOT AND THE
OBSERVERS NEEDED TO KEEP THE PRESSURE ON THE PARTIES
TO RESOLVE THEIR INTERNAL PROBLEMS AND GET BACK TO THE
TABLE. THE GOT, HE SAID, IS WORRIED ABOUT THE
FRAGILITY OF THE CEASEFIRE. THE MORE DELAY, THE
GREATER THE TEMPTATION FOR SOMEONE TO START SHOOTING.

4. AMONG THE IDEAS THE TANZANIANS ARE PUTTING
FORWARD, ONE IS TO OFFER MWANZA OR ARUSHA AS A NEUTRAL
VENUE FOR A MEETING OF THE RWANDAN PARTIES WITH THE
RPF TO RESOLVE THEIR DIFFERENCES ON THE ASSEMBLY AND
THE DISTRIBUTION OF CABINET PORTFOLIOS. ANOTHER IDEA
BEING CONSIDERED IS TO CALL FOR A SUMMIT BETWEEN RPF
CHAIRMAN KANYARENGWE AND PRESIDENT HABYARIMANA, WITH
PRESIDENT MWINYI MEDIATING. THE TANZANIANS ALSO PLAN
TO BRING EITHER RPF CHAIRMAN KANYARENGWE OR MILITARY
COMMANDER KAGAME TO DAR ES SALAAM FOR TALKS BEFORE THE
NEXT ROUND. DESPITE THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT THE
CONSEQUENCES OF DELAY,'
(AGREED THAT THERE WAS
NO POINT IN CONVENING THE TALKS AGAIN UNTIL THE
PARTIES HAVE SOMETHING NEW TO SAY TO EACH OTHER.
5.
SAID THAT PRESIDENT MWINYI HAD MET WITH A
PE
OY OF PRESIDENT HABYARIMANA LAST WEEK.
THE TANZANIANS FEEL THAT THE PROPOSAL FOR SOME SORT OF
APPOINTED TRANSITIONAL ASSEMBLY IS MORE DOABLE THAN
TRYING TO KEEP AND EXPAND THE CURRENT CND, AND URGED
GOR FLEXIBILITY IN THIS AREA. PRESIDENT MWINYI,
NOTING THAT SOME SACRIFICES WOULD BE NEEDED TO REACH A
SETTLEMENT, TOLD THE ENVOY "BEFORE YOU GET TO HEAVEN,

YOU HAVE TO DIE." THE TANZANIANS THOUGHT THAT
PRESIDENT HABYARIMANA'S LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE WOULD
BE CRITICAL.
6.
INDICATED SOME CONCERN THAT THE POLITICAL
GI - IN KIGALI WAS ACTUALLY MOVING THINGS
BACKWARD. HE THOUGHT, BASED ON HIS EMBASSY'S

REPORTING, THAT THE ISSUE OF THE FORMULA FOR THE
DISTRIBUTION OF CABINET PORTFOLIOS AGREED ON IN ARUSHA
HAD BEEN "REOPENED." HE ADDED THAT THE GOT VERY MUCH
APPRECIATED U.S. SUPPORT AND ENGAGEMENT AND WELCOMED
OUR ASSURANCES THAT OUR INVOLVEMENT WILL CONTINUE. HE
HOPED THAT THE QTHER OBSERVERS ALSO WILL ENGAGE THE
PARTIES DURING THE TIME BETWEEN THE ROUNDS TO PRESS
FOR FURTHER PROGRESS.
