Mr. Speaker. the administration is now linking the sanctions in South Africa vote in the Senate to the summit. The argument goes like this: "Dont roll the President on the South Africa issue. because hell appear handcuffed and weak with the Soviets." How absurd. What is next? Are they going to ask us now to link the budget issue. debt ceiling. immigration. a tactic that also includes. regrettably. casting disloyalty aspersions on the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee in the other body? This is regrettable. Mr. Speaker. the administration is sadly isolated on the South Africa issue. The demise of this senseless policy should be rapid. should take place as expeditiously as possible and should stand on its own.
