- ----------------------------Original message----------------------------
- I would like to enlist your assistance in what is an unusual but
- legitimate reference inquiry. I have exhausted sources in my 66%
- depository collection, and have also checked with my regional.
- An article with the handwritten notation August 9, 1979,
- Washington Post, reads as follows:
-
- DOG WAS TO DELIVER BOMB
- IN PLOT TO KILL CHOU EN-LAI
-
- "A plot to assassinate the late Premier Chou En-lai by means of a
- trained kamikaze dog wearing a remote-controlled bomb was conceived
- by intelligence agents for the Republic of China (Taiwan) in 1971,
- according to a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee staff report.
- A ROC emissary had been sent to Switzerland with funds to pay for the
- operation, which was to be carried out by members of an Italian neo-
- fascist organization during a trip by Chou to Paris. There was one
- hitch. The trip was cancelled because of internal political difficulties
- in China."
-
- I am trying to locate the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee staff
- report to which this article refers. I do not know which subcommittee,
- and I do not have a year of publication for the report, although it
- may be 1979. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
