And it depends on a gulag now to enforce its will against all rival black South Africans. The shameful thing is that some African countries actively assist this. They arrest and imprison black South African refugees who oppose apartheid but who do not support the Communist party and the ANC. They provide the prison guards for young black refugees who join the ANC and then find out they do not agree with their political commissars and want to leave. It has a lot of trouble recruiting. and it is deathly afraid of rival black political leaders being allowed to build up followings. air their views. or question the party line. Mr. President. we must refuse to continue providing economic aid to countries which imprison black South African refugees for their political beliefs. and which refuse to allow American officials to investigate complaints and allegations of abuse from friends and relatives of these people. Angola. one of the worst offenders. currently receives no U.S. Government aid. but Tanzania. Mozambique. Zambia and others do. This amendment would penalize those states that would arrest these refugees for their political activities. affiliations. or beliefs. and which refuse to allow American Embassy officials to visit the sites of their alleged detentions and investigate fully the circumstances of such detention. Mr. President. the amendment contains a national security waiver which would permit the President to waive the provisions of this section if he determines that such waiver is in the national security interest of the United States.
