Mr. Chairman. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman. the bill authorizes $25 million: $4 million for "refugee education assistance" and $21 million for "community development assistance." The bill spells out very carefully that this money should have nothing to do with the South African Government. My amendment would stipulate equally carefully that our money shall not be used by the African National Congress. as long as that organization is intimately associated with the South African Communist Party. No one is saying that this money will necessarily go to the ANC. On the other hand. there is nothing in this bill to stop the money from going directly to the ANC or to an organization directly controlled by the ANC.
