MR DU PLESSIS
Van Rensburg then proposed that we go to Colonel Erasmus, now General Erasmus, he was Divisional Commander of the Eastern Cape Security Branch.  There I sketched this whole dilemma for him and we considered various alternatives.  There were not many.
	Firstly, because we couldn't detain him for a longer period.  If we should do that we had to release him at one or other stage or charge him.  And then this information and the identification, in other words of the information network would become known.  By eliminating this - the agent it would lead to making known of other sources and this was also sketched to Erasmus.
