LNG PROJECT--The Indonesian Government has aeked Japan Co take part in a
LNG (liquefied natural gas) development plan in Arun, Sumatra which Indoneeia '
had been desiring to promote with the cooperation of a U.S. firm. The
Indonesian offer was diacloaed by the Minietry of International Trade and.
Induatry [MITI] on 7 Apri1. The plan in queation is Indoneaia's largeet,
envisaging an annual LNG output of 4.5 million tona. The MITI plans to
seriously etudy the Indonesian offer with a view to reducing Japan's
dependence on petroleum and diffusing sources of energy aupply. The
Indonesian offer was made by the visiting.presidenC of the Indoneeian
National PeCroleum Corporation (PerCaming), Harqono, to MITI Minister Esaki.
Indoneaia reportedly made the offer because Indoneaian n~gotiations with
a U.S. firm on the Arun LNG development plan fell Chxough after experiencing
ro~sgh~�sailing. Preaident Suharto himaelf is said to have inetructed that
the plan be changed into an Indonesia-Japan ~oint venture. [Excerpt~

[Report on interview wtth Prince Norodom Sihanouk~ former chief of etate '
of Cambodia, by Laurence Masurel, conducted in Peking; no date given]
. [Text] Princ~e Norodom Sihanouk, former chief of atate of Cambodia, i
_ now livea in exile in Peking. Following independence, he E.
- was the "debonnai.re lit.tle prince" whom the socialis~ coun-
tries protected. He was deposed in 1970 by the coup d'etat ~
that brought ~he L4n Nol government to gower in hie Gountry~
now a republic. The Khmers Rouges restored him to pot,Ter
in 1975 and then arrested him. He lived in Phnom Penh under
strict aurveillance before going into exile. Without formal- ,
ities, he received Laurence Maaurel and Jean-Claude Sauer.
"Petits choux au foie gras de France, consomme royal de printempe, filets
de sole a la meuniere et aux caprea de France, pommee noisettee, eacalope
de porc a la creme et aux oranges de Chine, aiguillette de canard roti,

This gRStronomical menu was aot taken from the culinary archives of
Louis XIV or from a book on the new French cuisine. It is the work of an
expert cook named Prince Norodom Sihanouk. It was 11 March in Peking.
That day, His Royal Highnesa in exile was giving a dinner in honor of
Chinese Vice Premier Deng Xiaopir.g, Minister of Foreign Affa~~ra Huang Hua
and their wivea. According to the Prince, I~eng Xiaoping enj~~yed a feae~,
although in Szechwan, his native province, the food ia more highly apiced.

That evening, in one of the spanking new roome of the Palace, we awai~ed �
the Prince. A etring of white-~acketed Chineee servants brought us steam- ~
3ng hot tea. tie suddenly entered by a narrow door, hie head completely
shaven, unrecogniLable. Not being completely sure that iti wae truly he,
we hesftaeed a few seconda before rising to greet him. He then moved
~oward us and apoke in French, with an inimitable etacatto accent: !'Welcome,
my friende from the Frenah presa." Delightecl at our surprise, the Prince
took pleasure in explaining the reason for his "bill~iard-ball" look. "For
2 weeka, I have been on a Buddhist retreat. In my room, I pray before
statues from Angkor Chgt I was able to bring with me." His wife, Princess
Monique, her face unlined, wearing a brighe blue dreas, underaCood our
bewilderment: "You see, with His Royal Highnesa, one is never boredl He
always has a surpriae in aCore for us!" Seated in an armchair, talking
with his hands, rolling his eyeay he completely dominated the convereation:
"Two of my sons and one of my nephews are with me in Peking. My eldest eon,
who studied in Czechoslovakia,.is an artise. He is studying mueic in
Peking. As for the other (scornful laugh), he studied in Moscow and if
you can imagine, is a Fol Pot supporter! He is againet mel My nnphew is
another Pol Pot follower. They ati11 defend the Cambod�ian regime even _
. though they were detained ~ust as I waA. They forget that they are
princes and that.Pal Pot wanted their hidel" His voice grew softer: "BuL..
- my wife and I are facing~somerhing�worae. We have no newa from two of our
daughters, two of our sons-in-law and ten nieces and nephews. When I ar-
rived in Chir~a, I asked Vice Premier Deng Xisoping to try to find out what
had happened to them. He told me that he would do everqthing necessary.
Unfortunately, I am atill awaiting an answer."
Princess Monique's eyes grow sad. While the prince continues to apeak, she
tells me in a soft voice about their detenCion in Phnom Penh: "It was
terrible. We were shut up in the Royal Palace and cut off from the world.
We did not know what would happen to us, if ~fie would ever come aut alive.
The most horrible thing for flis Royal Highness was knowing that the peo-
ple were suffering terribly, that they were being persecuted and that
there was nothing he could do about it. All day long, I tried to raise
the morale of~my husband and my two aons. Everq morning at 7:U0, we would
turn on our little Grundig transistor radio that was our only liak with
- the outside world. Sometimes we could pick up Radio France or the BBC.
I heard newsmen say, 'Sihanouk~is perhaps dead,' or 'Sihanouk ia reportedly
very ill and is said to have become deaf.' Actually, he was quite well
and I was the one with ear problems."
She continued: "Three times a year, Kieu Sampan came to get us ~nd took
us out in a~eep to put us on display in the rural areas. It was frightful

ment~or welcome and ~ve did not have ehe right to etop and te1~. them that

Our suffering wae not phyei~al;'we had everything we ne~ded to eaC, soma-
timea even imported food. Our euffering wae epiritual. We ware i~olnted,
without news from our family, unable tio learn if we were going to die from
one day to the next. Our only ent~rtainment was 1lstening to the tranaie-
~ tor radio and reading. Fortunately, my hueband's library was ir~tact. Lon
No1 had not taken itl"
Gripping the arma of his chair, Sihanouk auddenly launched into a violent
' tirade against Po1 Pot. He romred: "Pol Pot is a killer and the supporters
of Pol Pot are like Hitler's SS1" He wenC on, sarcastically: "Deng Xiaaping
told me that Pol Pot and Ieng Sary had promised him th~t they Wou1d treat
the Cambodian people better if they managed to regain control over Cambodia
from the VieCnamese, but (here he laughed sardonical�ly) I do not ege how a ~
~ Ciger can turn into a puesycat!" He went over the lieC of hie enemies: ~
'"I deteat the Vietnameae, the Sovista also. As for Fidel C~+etro (who re- -
cently insulted him), he hates me but I hate him aleo. He is a crook!" .
Then he lieted his friends: "China ie my No l friend. Aia for France....
Ahl Francel I ~?anted to go there; I dreamed of it after pleadirig my
country's cauae before the United Nationa in New York. But Deng X3aoping,
= ~ahom I met there, convinced me to come here.~ I do not regret it. My
C?~inese friende treat me well. They are supporting me completely. I do -
n~~t have a cent. Sihanouk ia broke...."
, We then went in to dinner.
This time, the menu had been drawn up under his aupervision by hie Chine~e
cook who is a deguty to the Aseembly from Shanghai and whom he ie teaching _
the secrets of French cooking.
Sihanouk continued his monolog. Our dishes included which is unthink-
able in Peking a conaomme roqal madrilene, vol-au-vent a la~financiere
(acCually stuffed with meat and noodlea), a ateak Diane with Chineae leeks
in a Mornay sauce, a scalloped dish and floating islands. We w~re meamer-
ized by the Prince. Between swallows of Cabernet Sauvignon from Romania -
and French champagne, a gifX from the ambasead~r of France to Peking, he
axplained his dream: "I want to make Cambodia the SwitLerland of Asia.
The Chineae attack on Vietnam wi11 not change the cards in Southeaet Asia.
As long as the Chineae support Pol Pot and his guerrillas, nothing will
change in Cambodia." Suddenly, he took a learned tone: "The solution -
for bringing back peace is to call a Geneva conference as soon as posaible
with the three great powe.rs, the three countries of what was Indochina,
Japan and five nations belonging to ASEAN [Association of Southeast Aaian
Nations]." He then explained with a profusfon of details how these c,oun-
tries could raise an armed force to liberate Cambodia from the Vietnameae
- and the "Pol Pot SS" an~ how it could organlse free electioas. He went
on: "Furthermore, Sihanouk would be a candidate if that came about. But
we have not reached that pointl" And he got up from the table.

~ In h3s office being aet up on the fireC flaor, he showed us, while sea~ed
at his,desk, the manuscripC o� hie memoires which he is writing, im�French
and in hia even, fine ecr~pt. "I have ~lready eenC ~he manuscr3.pt o� the

- relations between Cambodia and Vietnam. The aecond volume will deal with ,

. He then aita doWn at the pinao. It is a Chinese-made Hsing Hai inetrument.
"I am beginning again to compoae songs ae I once did in Phnom Penh. I
would like to atart an orchestra in Peking. It could play modern mueic
. at dances in Peking, at Che Palace of Nationalities and the International
C1ub." '
In the next r~om, ha opened a wardrobe. We were flabbergasted. Bottles of
wine lined two ahelves. "This is my wine cellar. Here you have wine from
Aleace and German wine." He �lovingly showed us the bottles he was abla to
recover from hia �irst period of exile ir.~ Peking. "They are precioue here,"
he said, "but you know, you can now get~3cotch at the Peking Hotel."
We then found ourselvea~in the projection room, which has a giant screen.
"You are going to aee a film made in Cambodia in 1965. I compoand the muaic
myself. You wi11 eee the real Cambodia, Sihanouk's Cambodia." Seated in
t~e second row, the Prince could not help making com~ents, even in Che ~
dark: "This film has become useful. Why? Because it is historical. _
The Khmere Rougea did away with a civilization. It has therefore become
a working tool for hiatorians and sociolog~sts." Before our eyes pasead
~ images of the light-hearted Cambodia of around 1965. Sihanouk Katched
them, hia eyea shinitig. Was he holdin~ back tears? "There is ~hnom Penh."
Sihanouk aighed. The rice paddiea, the rice gathering, the factories at
work. "They arE now deserted." Then we saw the Cambodian dancera with
their long fingernails, wearing costumes embroidered with p'recious stones.
"If they are not dead, they are now working in the,fields." We eaw the
- countryside, the Elephant Mountains, the Cardamones Range: "That ia
where Pol Pot's guerrillas fled." For 2 hours, we watched the strange and
moving picture of the fallen Prince seeing the images from his past. The
crowd preased around him, ahouted with joy. Peasants~kissed his hands.
The lights came on. Sihanouk said in a strained voice, "It is late. You .
must leave." One last queation: "Will you eveY return to your country?"
He replied seriously, "I am retired.~ I do not wish to be in politica any
longer. That no longer c~epends on me." The Prince knows very well that
his future no longer depends on himself but on the Chineae. They have him
and are playing two cards:. Pol Pot, whem they are continuing to sL~pport
for the time being, and Sihanouk, whom they are keeping "in reaerve" in
his "gild'ed" exile, like a pawn that cauld be used in future negotiationa
with the Vietnamese. Sihanouk, who is no longer master of his fate, is
therefore making no plans, except for one that is dear to him: to go to
_ France for Christmas.

HU SEN SAYS POL POT FORCES ARE BEING 'HUNTED DOWN'
` Paris LE NbWEL OBSERVATEUR in French 23-29 Apr 79 pp 60-61LD
[Report by Ph3lipp~e Devillera: "IQimers Return 'Home"']
[Excerpt] On the evening of 3 April I had a,meeCing witr. People!s Republic
of Canibodia Foreign Minieter Hu aen. He is 28 yeare old. He originatee ,
from Kompong Cham, was forr~.erly a student and then a Khmer Rouge militiary
officer throughout the pertod 1970-77 in the eastern region, and at the
Kampuchean National United Front for National 5alvation Congress laet Novem-
ber he was elected youth leader before being entruated wiCh foreign affaire
in January 1979. According to him, 90 percent of population have now re-
turned to their native villages, but the migration continues by all avail-
able means--car, bicycle, cart, boat. Since all pexsonal effecta were con-
fiscated by Pol Pot, each family has taken wha~ it needs from the cooperative
to which it belonged. This general migration is certainly having a big
effect on agricultural work and will certainly have conaequences for pro-
duction but, Mr Hun Sen said, it was imposeible ;o go against the ardent
wiah of the whole people: to~go home....
- To mark the I~mer New Fear (13 April), the government has launched an appeal.
It is also the day of the first furrow, and throughout the country it eeea
the start of the main farming taska.
"There is acarcely anything more Pol Pot can do. He has forced many peas-
ants to follow him into the forest. He has even had many people's tendons
cut.to prevent them from fleeing, but every daq we free more groupe. Pol
Pot has only light weapons left. All his army's heavy arma have been re-
covered. Admittedly China recently sent arms to him thraugh 7'hailand, but
that will not alter the reault. Pol Pot's forces are now being hunted down.
They are forced to move around constantly and cannot set up any firm and
lasting bases. Moreover Che aituation is returning to normal. When the
population are back in their famiiiar environment they will set about pro-
duction again."

"Bei~ing's Tool"
The ministier did not hide Che fact that, owing to Che maesacre o~ educated
people by l~ol Po~, the regime ie ~aced with a tiragic ehortage of cadre~.
In order to b~ able to set~up the new adminietration it hae embarked on an
accelerated training pzogram. It'~h'ae also ieeued appeals ~o a11 Khmere,
particularly those abroad, to come and help rebuild tihe country. "We re-
~ect no one. All who agree to work with us on the basie of the FronC's
8-point program are welcome, including thoae Khmers who, becauee of tihe
~ two previoua regimes, felt obliged to ~ake rsfuge abroad."
' And what about Sik~anouk? The minister did not heeitatie. "Sihanouk has
recentily caused us a lot of trouble, and if he atays on in Beijing he will
no longer be able to claim the righe to have a say. He is beaoming Bei~ing's
tool and our enemy. Sihanouk can come back if he repents, but he muet re-
pent soon." .
What about the Vietnamese preaence? "Foreigners believe that we are under
a Vietnamese protectorate. Vietnam helped us to free ourselvee �rom Bei~ing's
lackeye and the Pot Pot-Ieng Sary clique. It still provides us with con-
siderable aid, but we follow our own line and we have a policy of our own.
This ia what the world muet know and understand. We are determined to play
~ our role in Southeast Asia and to take our place in the nonalined movement
in order to rebu~.].d our country as~d conaolidate ita independence in solidar-
ity with the other Indochineae peoples. We would like as soon ae poseible
to resume relationa with the French people, who have always been our frienda
and whom we hope will continue to aupport us."
People in Hanoi were ev~a~ive about the future ef the Vietna;nese military
prasence in Cambodia, bur Premier Pham Van Dong told me (on 10 April):
"The WesC must realize that the poliCical eituation in Cambodia is irrever-
sible."
