PROCESS. RUDASINGWA SAID HE WOULD ALSO BE CARRYING A
HANDWRITTEN NOTE FOR A/S COHEN FROM RPF CHAIRMAN

3. RUDASINGWA SAID THAT HE WILL ARRIVE IN WASHINGTON
ON FEBRUARY 7 AND WOULD CONTACT RWANDA DESK OFFICER
CAROL FULLER ON FEBRUARY 8. RUDASINGWA WOULD LIKE TO
SEE FULLER, AF/C DIRECTOR PRINGLE, DAS BOB HOUDEK AND
LTC TONY MARLEY. RUDASINGWA ALSO RAISED THE
POSSIBILITY OF HIS MEETING WITH A/S COHEN AND WITH
A/S-DESIGNATE GEORGE MOOSE. WE TOLD HIM BOTH MEN ARE
PROBABLY VERY BUSY AND IT IS UNLIKELY A/S DESIGNATE
MOOSE WOULD BE RECEIVING VISITORS PRIOR TO HIS
CONFIRMATION. WE TOLD HIM DESK OFFICER FULLER WOULD BE
IN A BETTER POSITION TO LET HIM KNOW WHETHER A MEETING
WITH COHEN IS POSSIBLE.
4. BEFORE DEPARTING, RUDASINGWA LAMENTED THE LARGE
NUMBER OF TUTSIS KILLED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS IN
RWANDA AND URGED THE USG TO SPEAK OUT FORCEFULLY
AGAINST THE VIOLENCE. THE AMBASSADOR REITERATED THAT
AMBASSADOR FLATEN IN KIGALI HAS BEEN DOING EVERYTHING
POSSIBLE TO BRING OUR CONCERNS TO THE ATTENTION OF
HABYARIMANA.
