The brochure says the American Committee on Africa (ACOA) hopes to raise $158,000 for its 1972 budget. The brochure discusses the general strike of Ovambo in Namibia and the almost unanimous "no" to the sell-out settlement between Smith's regime and Britain over the future of Zimbabwe. The brochure discusses U.S. breaking the United Nations embargo on Rhodesia. It notes that 1972 is a presidential campaign year and discusses the Nixon Administration's increasing aid to Portugal. 1972 also is an Olympic year, and South Africa has been harder hit by the international sports boycott than by any similar activity. The brochure discusses corporate campaigns, specifically against Gulf Oil, General Motors and Polaroid. Other ACOA work includes efforts to end the military alliance with Portugal and other U.S. assistance to minority rule in southern Africa, such as the space and scientific programs and the sugar quota for South Africa. The brochure discusses aid to the liberation movements, which are most advanced in the Portuguese colonies. The brochure says ACOA has for many years aided petitioners and other representatives who come to the United Nations with travel expenses, office facilities, and the like. ACOA's Washington office works with the new Black Caucus in Congress. • 1972 Opportunities • Current Campaigns • Research, Education, and Literature • Literature-Information Center • Washington Office • Membership, Policy Making, and Administration • Summary Budget • Africa Defense and Aid Fund
