2. SUMMARY. A SERIES OF CURIOUS ARTICLES IN LE MONDE HAS
RAISED AGAIN THE COUNTERTERRORIST ROLE OF THE ELYSEE
GROUP HEADED BY FORMER GENDARME AND CURRENT PRESIDENTIAL
ADVISER CHRISTIAN PROUTEAU. IN THESE ARTICLES, WHICH MANY
BELIEVE WERE WRITTEN BY PROUTEAU HIMSELF, THE ELYSEE CELL
IS PORTRAYED AS THE DYNAMIC DIRECTOR OF THE STRUGGLE
AGAINST TERRORISM. THIS HAS BEEN GREETED WITH SOME
DERISION BY THOSE FAMILIAR WITH THE TERRORISM ISSUE HERE,
AND HAS ELICITED A CRUSHING REJOINDER FROM INTERIOR
MINISTER PIERRE JOXE. IT SEEMS UNLIKELY THAT THE ARTICLES
WILL ACCOMPLISH THEIR PROBABLE AIM OF WINNING BACK FOR THE
ELYSEE GROUP THE RESPONSIBILITIES IT HAS LOST. WE ONLY
HOPE THIS CLUMSY EFFORT WILL NOT DISCREDIT THE FEW USEFUL
SUGGESTIONS CONTAINED IN THE ARTICLES. END SUMMARY.

3. A COMBINED HISTORY AND DEFENSE OF THE ELYSEE CELL
HEADED BY FORMER GENDARME MAJOR CHRISTIAN PROUTEAU
APPEARED IN A SERIES OF THREE ARTICLES IN LE MONDE

A SELF-SERVING INTERPRETATION
4. THE ARTICLES CAN BE SUMMARIZED AS FOLLOWS:
THE ELYSEE CELL WAS CREATED IN AUGUST 1982 IN THE WAKE OF
SEVERAL TERRORIST INCIDENTS INCLUDING THE RUE DES ROSIERS
MASSACRE IN PARIS. AT THE SAME TIME, A SECRETARIAT OF
STATE FOR PUBLIC SECURITY WAS CREATED UNDER JOSEPH
FRANCESCHI. THE GOF SOON BEGAN TO REALIZE, HOWEVER, THAT
IT WOULD BE WISER TO DEPEND ON THE ELYSEE CELL THAN ON
FRANCESCHI'S GROUP, WHICH WAS FINALLY DISESTABLISHED IN
JULY 1984. THE ELYSEE CELL PERCEIVED THAT A SPECIAL
FRENCH APPROACH TO COUNTERTERRORISM WAS NEEDED -- ONE THAT
WAS EFFICIENT BUT NOT REPRESSIVE. DESPITE DEEPLY ROOTED
RIVALRIES AMONG POLICE AND SECURITY AGENCIES, PROUTEAU
AND HIS GROUP SUCCEEDED IN CREATING AN ATMOSPHERE OF
COOPERATION DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEIR AUTHORITY DERIVED
DIRECTLY FROM THE PRESIDENT. PROUTEAU ALSO WAS ALLEGEDLY
RESPONSIBLE FOR INSTITUTING EFFICIENT COOPERATION WITH
FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS, WHICH HAD NEVER BEEN THE CASE,
-
5. ACCORDING TO "ARAMIS," THE PUBLIC PERCEIVED THAT THE
ELYSEE CELL HAD BUNGLED THE ARREST OF ALLEGED IRA
TERRORISTS IN LATE 1982 (COMMENT: THIS EPISODE DID A
GREAT DEAL TO DISCREDIT PROUTEAUS GROUP). HOWEVER, THE
FACT THAT THE IRISHMEN HAD TO BE RELEASED BECAUSE THE
ARREST WAS RULED ILLEGAL WAS NOT THE ELYSEE GROUP'S FAULT.
MOREOVER, THE IRISHMEN WERE SUPPOSEDLY LINKED WITH MIDDLE
EASTERN TERRORIST GROUPS, AND THEIR ARREST PRACTICALLY
PUT AN END TO MIDDLE EASTERN TERRORISM IN FRANCE.
(COMMENT: SOME ATTACKS THAT OCCURRED LATER ARE GLIBLY
EXPLAINED AWAY IN THE ARTICLE; OTHERS ARE SIMPLY NOT
MENTIONED.)
-
-
6. "ARAMIS" ALSO DISCUSSES NEGOTIATIONS WHICH THE
OPPOSITION PRESS HAS ACCUSED THE ELYSEE CELL OF CON-
DUCTING WITH TERRORIST GROUPS. THESE CON-
TACTS WITH THE CORSICAN NATIONAL LIBERATION FRONT AND
WITH ACTION DIRECTE LEADER JEAN-MARC ROUILLAN WERE
SUPPOSEDLY ONLY ATTEMPTS TO CONVINCE THE TERRORISTS
TO GIVE THEMSELVES UP.
