Speech #970181898

I sincerely hope the continued representations by the administration and Members of Congress to the South Africans for a passport for Bishop Tutu will enable Bishop Tutu to be present at the churchs convention. Perhaps some in South Africa believe the refusal to permit Bishop Tutu to travel to the United States will somehow prevent American public opinion from turning against their country. Nothing could be further from the truth. The United States has for many years granted visas to exiled South Africans whose opinions are much more radical than Bishop Tutus. They come here to enjoy the opportunity to voice their opinions in a free society. Many advocate a violent solution as the only alternative to apartheid.
