PERHAPS THE TIME HAD COME TO DEFEND THEMSELVES HE FOR ONE INTENDED TO DEFEND HIMSELF 8 RODNEY SAID THAT HE DID NOT WANT EVEN TO CONSIDER TERRORISM AS AN ALTERNATIVE BECAUSE HE PERSONALLY FOUND

REPRESENTED TO THE MEDIA THE TONE OF HIS MEETINGS WITH USG OFFICIALS MOREOVER EVEN IF ONE SHOULD ACCEPT BISHOP'S VERSION EMBOFF CONTINUED THERE HAD SINCE BEEN A CONSISTENT PATTERN OF MISREPRESENTATION AND POSTURING ON THE PART OF PEOPLE'S REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT PRG OFFICIALS WHICH BROUGHT THEIR SINCERITY SERIOUSLY INTO QUESTION 10 RODNEY FOUND THESE OBSERVATIONS ON GRENADA INTERESTING AND WENT ON

WOULD HITCH ITS WAGON TO ANY FOREIGN STATE WHICH PLAYED SUCH A LARGE ROLE ON THE WORLD STAGE CUBA HAD NOT HELPED THE WPA THUS FAR AND THE WPA WOULD BE EXTREMELY WARY OF ACCEPTING HELP FROM ANYONE WHO WOULD SEEK TO PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN SHAPING THEIR FUTURE GOVERNMENT ON THE OTHER HAND THE USG COULD EXPECT THAT A WPALED GOVERN MENT OF RECONSTRUCTION WOULD BE COMING TO THE USG WITH REQUESTS FOR SUBSTANTIAL AID THERE WOULD SURELY BE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THEM OVER THE ROLE OF MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS IN GUYANA FOR EXAMPLE BUT THAT DID NOT MEAN THAT A WPA GOVERNMENT WOULD VIEW THE USG IN AN UNFRIENDLY LIGHT OR IN ANY WAY POSE A THREAT TO U S NATIONAL SECURITY 13 RODNEY SAID THT THE WPA MERELY WANTED THE OPPORTUNITY TO RESTORE HONESTY AND INTEGRITY IN GOVERNMENT AND TO BETTER THE LOT OF THE GUYANESE PEOPLE WHILE NOT WANTNG TO BE A CLIENT STATE OF ANYONE THEY ADMIRED THE UNITED STATES AND DESIRED FRIENDLY RELATIONS WITH IT THE SAME WAS TRUE OF NEARBY NEIGHBOURS RODNEY SAID HE WAS CERTAIN A WPALED GOVERNMENT WOULD GET ALONG WELL WITH THE VENEZUELANS AND TRINIDADIANS HE WAS ESPECIALLY SURE THAT RELATIONS WOULD IMPROVE WITH SURINAME HE BLAMED BURNHAM'S ARROGANCE AND GUYANESE
