Power Computer Services which distributes IBM products. By prohibiting extensions of credit for sales to any South African company. this legislation will virtually terminate our trading relations with South Africa. Recently South Africa attempted to purchase 300.000 tons of United States hard red winter wheat valued at $40 million to be used primarily to feed Mozambican refugees in South Africa. After being informed that current United States policy precluded the sale. South Africa arranged to purchase wheat from Canada. Refusing to sell wheat to feed refugees in South Africa will not hasten political reform. Indeed this transaction demonstrates the ineffectiveness of economic sanctions when South Africa can purchase similar items from other countries. For these reasons.
