A2 THE OTTAWA CITIZEN MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1987 1 i QftGviM" jjIa i 1 isiitiiiiei ffffom pae 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. There was one minor scuffle 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.

Organizer Robert Fox said he was extremely pleased with the turnout. "If we had had more sun, we might have had more families," 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 iron ic that we should have acid rain falling on our demonstration. "God works in mysterious ways sometimes." In order to help pay the estimated $10,000 cost of staging the protest, organizers passed around white buckets and sold buttons and 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) when police prevented the launching of a Greenpeace protest balloon. A small group of the environmentalists had hoped to float a hot-air balloon over Parliament Hill and send a parachutist leaping onto the lawn to protest U.S. policies on acid rain. Police scuffled with one protester who tried to prevent them from confiscating a giant fan used to inflate the balloon.

Despite the incident, RCMP Supt. Jim Aitken praised the groups protesting on the Hill for being co-operative and quipped to reporters that "democracy is alive and well in Canada" Protesters From page A1 story: 33 arrested at protest today; weekend protesters jammed Hill Daniel Weiss carried a shredded umbrella and condemned Reagan's pledge to spend $2.5 billion U.S. 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. It 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 the Uplands military airbase to Gov.

Gen. Jeanne Sauvl'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.

SUMMARY A weakening low pressure system over the region will maintain cloudy skies and scattered showers for the next few days. Ottawa and Montreal: Cloudy with scattered showers tonight, low of 4. Tuesday, cloudy, high of 7. Long-range forecast: Wednesday and Thursday, cloudy, chance of showers. Toronto: Variable Tuesday, high of 7.

Barometer 9 a.m. 101.4, steady. Humidity 9 a.m.: 71 per cent. Chance of precipitation Tuesday: 30 Road information: Ontario 745-7040 per cent. Quebec 776-0059 SUNDAY'S READINGS 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." Canada wants a 50-per-cent reduction of acid-rain emissions bv 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 U.S. from Congress to fund clean-coal demonstration projects. The Americans did talk about the AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) proposal by Mulroney.

Presidential spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said Reagan accepted the invitation, although the initial effort will be in the form of an information exchange only on AIDS research. No agreement was sought concerning extra funding for the research, Fitzwater added. The leaders "agreed to close collaboration in the sharing of AIDS research," he said, repeating Reagan's stated intention to find a vaccine for the disease. The details of the AIDS exchange are to be worked out between federal Health Minister Jake Epp and the U.S. Health and Human Services secretary.

Fitzwater added that Reagan and Mulroney also agreed to raise the AIDS issue at this summer's Venice meeting of the leaders of seven western industrialized democracies. 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 access, and was a move to protect Canadian culture. "The president raised it in the context of what he had heard the proposal involved," said one senior official.

The official said Mulroney noted he was aware of "the president's personal interest in the subject." External Affairs Minister Clark and his U.S. counterpart George Shultz also met Sunday, and discussed everything from Arctic sovereignty to the free-trade negotiations. Clark also specifically raised with Shultz the concern Canada has about the unsigned U.S. treaty with Japan allowing shipments by air of pluto-nium to fly over Canada. Shultz told Clark there would only be flights over the country after consultations with Canada.

Reagan meets with Liberal leader John Turner today and attends a working lunch before addressing a joint session of the House of Commons and Senate. He is due to depart at 4 p.m. (Recorded at Ottawa International Airport) city and CFB Ottawa was swept and smart for the arrival of Reagan and his wife, Nancy, as the president, solving one of the biggest mysteries of this summit, walked off the plane in a bone-colored raincoat with a warm lining. 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 Sauve, 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 and received a 21-gun salute. This is the second time, he and Nancy have been to Ottawa, and their third time in Canada. They visited Quebec City in 1985 for the so-called Shamrock Summit, the first of the annual summits between the two Irishmen.

"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. are very happy to be here among Low: 7 Rain: 57 mm High: 11 Snow: nil Record high: 21 (1948) Water equivalent nil mm Record low: -12 (1982) April to date 42.9 mm Normal high: 7 April average 69.1 mm Normal low: -2 April record 124.3 mm (1984) OTTAWA SKIES Today Moon phases Sunrise 6:36 a.m. New First qr.

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 NO-RAD, and in our consultations at the economic summit the United Nations and a host of other co-operative 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: 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 official. "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 (D Sunset Moonrise Moonset 7:37 p.m. 12:34 p.m. 3:58 p.m. Apr.
