This new resolution is essentially the same as Senate Concurrent Resolution 45 which I introduced on June 15. The new resolution contains technical changes and the third resolved clause has been modified to clarify its meaning. The intent of the third resolved clause is to insure that the United States does not give any measure of recognition to the socalled independence of these South Africancreated homelands by granting visas to "homeland" officials on a "homelands" passport. We do not intend to prohibit all travel to the United States by officials of the homelands. either those which have been declared independent by South Africa or those which have not. However. we do want to insist that no U.S. visa be granted to any such official unless such official holds a passport which is recognized as valid by the Government of the United States. I believe the new language of the third resolved removes any ambiguities which may have been present in Senate Concurrent Resolution 45.
