Pamphlet about David Newsom, who was at the time the U.S. Assistant Secrfetary of State for African Affairs. The leaflet includes questions for Newsom focused on Portuguese colonialism as well as Namibia, South Africa, Ethiopia, and about Newsom's advisors - including Thomas Smith, President of Ferrell Shipping Lines (which operates between the U.S. and South Africa), Edgar Kaiser, President of Kaiser Industries (whose jeeps are used by the Portuguese and South African military), and Guido Garbarino of Westinghouse International (which has extensive investments in South Africa). The pamphlet refers to a newspaper report of napalm and phosphorous bombs marked "Made in USA" being dropped by the Portuguese on a village in Guinea-Bissau. The pamphlet says the U.S. is selling Lear Jets to the South African government in direct violation of a 1963 Security Council resolution. • Guinea • NATO • Africa Advisory Panel • Office of Public Safety • Namibia (South West Africa) • Ethiopia • True or False Section
