Correspondent David [Culhane] reports from Montreal on the death of Pierre Laporte, the crowds gathering to view the body which is laying in state, and clips by Pierre Elliott Trudeau, John Diefenbaker and Jean Drapeau about Laporte. Drapeau's voice cracks as he speaks. Trudeau's remark that the kidnappers will fail to shake the will of the country is also mentioned.~NBC news reports on developments in the October crisis, including the publication by Montreal police the day before of a letter in the handwriting of FLQ hostage James Cross, the television broadcast by Pierre Elliott Trudeau about the death of Laporte, the arrest by Montreal police of two men in St. Hubert, the issuing of a warrant for the arrest of Marc Carbonneau and a man identified by the announcer as Paul "Ross", and the arrest by soldiers of two men caught trying to blow up the CBC transmitter on Mount Royal. The reporters are identified as Frank [Blair] and Paul Cunningham.~Excerpts of news reports about the laying in state of the body of Pierre Laporte, interviews with people in Montreal about their reaction to the murder, and a clip of the televised statement by Pierre Elliott Trudeau about the murder. The reporter is identified as Paul Cunningham of NBC, who is reporting from Montreal. The host is Hugh Downs. René Lévesque is interviewed and is irritated by the interviewer's attempt to equate the Parti Québécois with sympathy among the party's voters for the terrorists (these clips are probably audio recordings of part of the NBC television program Today).~Report on the death of Pierre Laporte, the grief it has generated and the televised statement by Pierre Elliott Trudeau about Laporte's death.

Smith about the lack of clear purpose of terrorists around the world, including Québec. He speculates that the terrorists do what they do to get publicity and to inspire fear. This is probably from the ABC Evening News television program, anchored by Frank Reynolds. The commentator is identified on the tape only as Howard, but Frank Reynolds' name is mentioned.~Report by ABC correspondent Scott [Osborne] about developments in the FLQ crisis, including the statement by Robert Stanfield in support of the government's refusal to capitulate to the terrorists, the vote in Parliament on the War Measures Act and the search by police of the house in St. Hubert where Pierre Laporte was believed to have been held hostage before his murder.~Reports by Frank McGee and Dean [Brayliss] of NBC Nes on tightened security in Québec and along its borders with the U.S. and neighbouring provinces, as part of the search for the murderers of Pierre Laporte.

A police officer describes what he found in the house. Preparations for the funeral of Pierre Laporte are also mentioned.

Nixon while campaigning with Robert Taft Jr. Nixon emphasizes the Republican Party's opposition to campus riots and violence, making reference to the FLQ crisis and mentioning that he had talked to Prime Minister Trudeau.~Excerpt of the CBS Evening News television program, anchored by Walter Cronkite.
