Description: "03/10/1981: According to the Solicitor General, threats against US President Ronald Reagan's life were made two weeks before the President's visit to Ottawa. Some of the threats came from ""crackpots"", but some were regarded as serious in both Canada and the U.S. The visit itself produced no evidence of any intended attack."
