Extract

Mr. Chairman, I wish to express appreciation for the invitation to appear before the Committee. It is Congress that must take the lead to end what is essentially a “cover-up” of U.S. policy on southern Africa. The Congress must insist on

  1. (1) a frank statement of the facts on the situation in South Africa,

  2. (2) an open analysis of U.S. interests in that area,

  3. (3) progress towards a therapeutic confrontation, discussion, debate, and analysis of what U.S. policy should be,

  4. (4) change with a view towards developing an honest, sensible and rational U.S. policy—consistent with U.S. interests—towards South Africa.
