Mr. Speaker. I have arranged this special order to express my view. and that of other Members. that it is unworthy of our democratic ideals for the Reagan administration to be insisting on deporting Dennis Brutus. The State Department admits that Mr. Brutus. a leading opponent of apartheid. has a "wellgrounded claim of persecution" if he is forced to return to South Africa. whose brutal and inhuman racist system he has been opposing. He was arrested in South Africa in 1963 for his opposition to segregation. and to force him to return thereor to Zimbabwe. as the State Department suggestsis to expose him to the terrorist apparatus of the South African Government.
