-Enquiries have beep. made of re.liable Anti-Apartheid Movement (~)
sources and it is known that the orga.ni~ation pas nq,plans to
demonstrate at Twickenham on Saturday 31st March 1984, eYen if the
R.F~Uo decision to send a ~muring team to S~uth.Africa is a positive
one.
A response by the City of London Anti-Apartheid Grcup(CLAAG) is a
po~sibility, but as far as is known ~t pr~sent they a.re already
corrnnitted to a.n open air·.rally and display at Wood Green between 11am
and 4pm.
This is a long standing- arrangement wl).ich they- are unlikely
to abandon. .J: haye _discui:,sed this. aspect· with CI_ _ of 'C' ?qd
and he is in agreement with this view.
The likelihood remains of some purely localised action - possibily by
the Richmoria &.Tlvickenha.n:i"_bra.nch of° A.AM, · or spontaneous acts by
incq.vid.ua1s.
I pave discus~ed the va"+ious opti~ns mentioned above with C I - o f

'TW' and he is satisfied with Special Branch action. I have undertaken
ta inform him if any changes in, .the situation become known during
Friday )Oth March 1 qSJ.i_
. . . ···· ···· .

( n r - is aware that contact has'been m~de with 'TW'
written assessment is not new required.
