A2 THE OTTAWA CITIZEN MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1987 POOR QUALITY ORIGINAL Hill U.S. intervention in Central America. Maple-sugar producers handed out leaf-shaped cakes of maple sugar. Postal worker leader Jean-Claude Parrot warned of the dangers of free trade, while U.S. environmentalist Daniel Weiss carried, 3 shredded umbrella and condemned Reagan's pledge to spend $2.5 billion to study clean-coal technologies.

Some even came to protest the protesters. J.S. Woodsworth High School student Mike Hora carried a "prevent communism" poster until he got shooed off the podium. "I'm just coming out because I thought it was too one-sided.

The protesters were treated to songs denouncing free trade, a puppet show mocking Mulroney and Reagan and serious speeches about acid rain, free trade and About 100 riot police, clubs in hand, marched out of a bus and lined the route facing the demonstrators. The motorcade passed by quickly without incident. After Reagan's limousine passed, the police were pulled away and the crowd rushed onto the road. Protesters had to make a quick retreat when limousines carrying U.S. Defence Secretary Caspar Weinberger and other top officials sped by.

Police cut off traffic on the block in front of the U.S. Embassy directly across from the Parliament buildings while scores of police officers kept a close eye on the demonstration. But there were no signs of violence and only one incident of trouble, when organizers dragged a man off the stage as he tried to grab the microphone to vent his concerns about South Africa. was mostly communist- and socialist-oriented," the 16-year-old student explained. Others were there to watch the spectacle.

Lome Mercer, 20, a former Newfoundlander, just came down to "see what the heck's going on." And 70-year-old Juliette Duern came to see her cousins from St. Hughes, who planned to protest. It was something to do with quotas, milk maybe, Duern figured. The object of their scorn did not see the main demonstration. Reagan was driven directly from a military airbase to Governor General Jeanne Sauv's official residence.

At one point along the motorcade route near a shopping area, several protesters beat the curb with sticks and shouted anti-Reagan slogans. said Fox, whose brother Bill is a senior adviser to Mulroney. "There are a lot of people and they're expressing very strongly their concerns. It's certainly ironic that we should have acid rain falling on our acid rain and other issue demonstration. God works in mysterious ways sometimes." In order to help pay the estimated 110,000 cost of staging the protest, organizers passed around white buckets and sold buttons and rather unique doormats featuring caricatures of the two leaders.

'Women have traditionally been treated as doormats," explained the Organized Working Women. "In an effort to wipe out the arms race, OWW has provided you with a more appropriate figure to tread upon." (With files from CP) RCMP Supt. Jim Aitken praised the groups for being co-operative and quipped to reporters that "democracy is alive and well in Canada" Don Morrison, of Sydney, N.S., was a representative of Cape Breton Disarmament Committee. But he ended up carrying a French poster attacking free trade. "I didn't have a banner, so I just borrowed one," the retired construction worker explained.

Reagan missed it all. His plane didn't land until a few minutes after the demonstration dispersed and the presidential cavalcade wasn't near the Hill. Organizer Robert Fox said he was extremely pleased with the turnout. "If we had had more sun, we might have had more families," Cloudy, occasional showers.

The two leaders "agreed to close collaboration in the sharing of AIDS research," Fitzwater said, repeating Reagan's stated intention to find a vaccine for the disease. Reagan did raise an issue close to his heart, concerning the distribution of U.S. films in Canada, after recent federal changes imposing licensing restrictions on all movies and videos imported into Canada. Mulroney tried to explain to Reagan this would not impede ac- cess, and was a move to protect Canadian culture.

External Affairs Minister I Clark and his U.S. counterpart' George Shultz also met Sunday, and discussed everything from Arctic sovereignty to the free-trade negotiations. Shultz told Clark there woul only be flights over the countn after consultations with Canada. Several other federal cabine ministers are expected to meej with their U.S. counterparts tot day.

"This is a question that has all-party support in Canada. This is not a partisan issue in the true sense. Therefore I think the Prime Minister was suggesting that perhaps there is a means we can harness all of the positive energy that exists in the Congress and the administration towards a discussion of a treaty that would have binding effect." The Canadians want a 50-percent reduction of acid-rain emissions by 1994. However, there was no mention of the treaty proposal at the American press briefing.

Instead, the American press heard that Mulroney told Reagan "how pleased he was" with the U.S. decision to comply with the acid-rain envoy's report, especially with Reagan's promise three weeks ago to seek $2.5 billion from Congress to fund certain clean-coal demonstration projects. The Americans did talk about the AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) proposal by Mulroney. U.S. presidential spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said Reagan accepted the invitation, although the initial joint effort will be in the form of an information exchange only on AIDS research.

Earlier this year, Vice-President George Bush caused a minor diplomatic flap when he arrived mid-winter wearing a short, un-lined and very wrinkled black raincoat. This time, the Americans were prepared not to insult weather-conscious Canadians stored away in Air Force One were a selection of coats for Reagan. He and Nancy, who wore a brown fur coat, black gloves, matching purse and shoes, were greeted by Sauvd, her husband Maurice and External Affairs Minister Joe Clark. It was a short welcoming ceremony, in which Reagan stood with his hand on his heart on the saluting base in the hangar, to the American national anthem and then to Canada.

He reviewed the Guard of Honor, received a 21-gun salute and signed the Distinguished Visitor's Book with his wife. "We have significant matters to discuss during our stay here. This is an important prelude to the upcoming economic summit in Venice," said Reagan in his opening remarks, in which he spoke in halting French. "Nous sommes tres heureux d'etre ici parmis des amis. (We are very happy to be here among friends.) "But I would like to emphasize OTTAWA SKIES Tomorrow Moon phases New First qr.

that our economic relationship, call it the business of being neighbors is only a small part of the future that we share. Speaking for all Americans on our side of the border, the best part for us is simply our good fortune to share this beautiful continent with the people of your great country." The social highlight Sunday was a state dinner at Government House. Before the dinner, Reagan and Mulroney both ducked reporters' questions. "You've got all the press conferences today," said Reagan when asked by a reporter whether any deal on reducing emissions would be signed during the visit. Mulroney copied Reagan: "We've had all the press conferences we've had," and adding to a Canadian reporter: "Nice try." Reagan wasn't much more forthcoming when he arrived at Government House before the meeting, saying, "I think we're going to make some progress we both want an answer." In a toast at the dinner, Reagan referred to the longstanding friendship between the two countries and the challenges they face in the area of international peace and security.

"Today, in NATO and in NORAD, and in our consultations at the economic summit the United Nations and a host of other cooperative endeavors, we continue to stand together for freedom and democracy and for the economic advancement of mankind," he said. He described the negotiations on free trade between the two countries as difficult, but said "we remain hopeful that we can conclude an agreement this year." This is a look at what was discussed Sunday between the two leaders: Senior Canadian officials, who briefed the press Sunday night, on the condition they not be named, said they weren't "looking for any breakthrough" on the acid-rain treaty issue at the talks today. But they wanted to make the point that "look there are people on both sides of the House in the United States who are in favor of movement on acid rain," said one Last qr. 6:36 a.m. 7:37 p.m.
