President Mandela continues to lend his voice and his moral authority to causes that affect the world such as the global AIDS pandemic. poverty and human rights. Nelson Mandela is a genuine hero to the world. So I was shocked last year. quite frankly. to learn when we were in South Africa with Congresswoman DONNA CHRISTENSEN that President Mandela and the ANC were barred from entering the United States unless they received a specific visa waiver certifying that they were not terrorists. So Im pleased that we were able to finally rectify this indignity earlier this month when we passed. and the President signed. as Mr. PAYNE acknowledged. legislation to remove him and the ANC from the U.S.
