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 (13-15 MARCH) UNDER THE PSEUDONYM "ARAMIS." THESE WERE SENSITIVE DECLASSIFIED Dept. of State Guidelines, July 21, 1997 BY SSW NARA, DATE 7/17/17 30 SENSITIVE PAGE 1 - 28 SITUATION LISTING DATE 04/10/85//100 SITUATION: TERRORIST SUBJECT CATAGORY: FILE MESSAGE / ANNOTATION: ENTITLED (WITH NO IRONY INTENDED) "THE "ANTITERRORISM" MUSKETEERS OF THE PRESIDENT." - 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.

SUMMARY. A SERIES OF CURIOUS ARTICLES IN LE MONDE HAS\nRAISED AGAIN THE COUNTERTERRORIST ROLE OF THE ELYSEE\nGROUP HEADED BY FORMER GENDARME AND CURRENT PRESIDENTIAL\nADVISER CHRISTIAN PROUTEAU. IN THESE ARTICLES, WHICH MANY\nBELIEVE WERE WRITTEN BY PROUTEAU HIMSELF, THE ELYSEE CELL\nIS PORTRAYED AS THE DYNAMIC DIRECTOR OF THE STRUGGLE\nAGAINST TERRORISM. THIS HAS BEEN GREETED WITH SOME\nDERISION BY THOSE FAMILIAR WITH THE TERRORISM ISSUE HERE,\nAND HAS ELICITED A CRUSHING REJOINDER FROM INTERIOR\nMINISTER PIERRE JOXE. IT SEEMS UNLIKELY THAT THE ARTICLES\nWILL ACCOMPLISH THEIR PROBABLE AIM OF WINNING BACK FOR THE\nELYSEE GROUP THE RESPONSIBILITIES IT HAS LOST. WE ONLY\nHOPE THIS CLUMSY EFFORT WILL NOT DISCREDIT THE FEW USEFUL\nSUGGESTIONS CONTAINED IN THE ARTICLES. END SUMMARY.\n-\n3. A COMBINED HISTORY AND DEFENSE OF THE ELYSEE CELL\nHEADED BY FORMER GENDARME MAJOR CHRISTIAN PROUTEAU\nAPPEARED IN A SERIES OF THREE ARTICLES IN LE MONDE\n(13-15 MARCH) UNDER THE PSEUDONYM \"ARAMIS.\" THESE WERE\nSENSITIVE\nDECLASSIFIED\nDept. of State Guidelines, July 21, 1997\nBY SSW\nNARA, DATE 7/17/17\n30\nSENSITIVE\nPAGE 1 - 28\nSITUATION LISTING\nDATE 04/10/85//100\nSITUATION:\nTERRORIST\nSUBJECT CATAGORY: FILE\nMESSAGE / ANNOTATION:\nENTITLED (WITH NO IRONY INTENDED) \"THE \"ANTITERRORISM\"\nMUSKETEERS OF THE PRESIDENT.\"\n-\nA SELF-SERVING INTERPRETATION\n4. THE ARTICLES CAN BE SUMMARIZED AS FOLLOWS:\nTHE ELYSEE CELL WAS CREATED IN AUGUST 1982 IN THE WAKE OF\nSEVERAL TERRORIST INCIDENTS INCLUDING THE RUE DES ROSIERS\nMASSACRE IN PARIS. AT THE SAME TIME, A SECRETARIAT OF\nSTATE FOR PUBLIC SECURITY WAS CREATED UNDER JOSEPH\nFRANCESCHI. THE GOF SOON BEGAN TO REALIZE, HOWEVER, THAT\nIT WOULD BE WISER TO DEPEND ON THE ELYSEE CELL THAN ON\nFRANCESCHI'S GROUP, WHICH WAS FINALLY DISESTABLISHED IN\nJULY 1984. THE ELYSEE CELL PERCEIVED THAT A SPECIAL\nFRENCH APPROACH TO COUNTERTERRORISM WAS NEEDED -- ONE THAT\nWAS EFFICIENT BUT NOT REPRESSIVE. DESPITE DEEPLY ROOTED\nRIVALRIES AMONG POLICE AND SECURITY AGENCIES, PROUTEAU\nAND HIS GROUP SUCCEEDED IN CREATING AN ATMOSPHERE OF\nCOOPERATION DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEIR AUTHORITY DERIVED\nDIRECTLY FROM THE PRESIDENT. PROUTEAU ALSO WAS ALLEGEDLY\nRESPONSIBLE FOR INSTITUTING EFFICIENT COOPERATION WITH\nFOREIGN GOVERNMENTS, WHICH HAD NEVER BEEN THE CASE,\n-\n5. ACCORDING TO \"ARAMIS,\" THE PUBLIC PERCEIVED THAT THE\nELYSEE CELL HAD BUNGLED THE ARREST OF ALLEGED IRA\nTERRORISTS IN LATE 1982 (COMMENT: THIS EPISODE DID A\nGREAT DEAL TO DISCREDIT PROUTEAUS GROUP). HOWEVER, THE\nFACT THAT THE IRISHMEN HAD TO BE RELEASED BECAUSE THE\nARREST WAS RULED ILLEGAL WAS NOT THE ELYSEE GROUP'S FAULT.\nMOREOVER, THE IRISHMEN WERE SUPPOSEDLY LINKED WITH MIDDLE\nEASTERN TERRORIST GROUPS, AND THEIR ARREST PRACTICALLY\nPUT AN END TO MIDDLE EASTERN TERRORISM IN FRANCE.\n(COMMENT: SOME ATTACKS THAT OCCURRED LATER ARE GLIBLY\nEXPLAINED AWAY IN THE ARTICLE; OTHERS ARE SIMPLY NOT\nMENTIONED.)\n-\n-\n6. \"ARAMIS\" ALSO DISCUSSES NEGOTIATIONS WHICH THE\nOPPOSITION PRESS HAS ACCUSED THE ELYSEE CELL OF CON-\nDUCTING WITH TERRORIST GROUPS. THESE CON-\nTACTS WITH THE CORSICAN NATIONAL LIBERATION FRONT AND\nWITH ACTION DIRECTE LEADER JEAN-MARC ROUILLAN WERE\nSUPPOSEDLY ONLY ATTEMPTS TO CONVINCE THE TERRORISTS\nTO GIVE THEMSELVES UP.\nSENSITIVE\n31\nSENSITIVE\nPAGE 1 - 29\nSITUATION LISTING\nDATE 04/10/85//100\nSITUATION:\nTERRORIST\nSUBJECT CATAGORY: FILE\nMESSAGE / ANNOTATION:\n-\n7.
