The mailing reports on the mark-up of the Foreign Assistance and Related Programs Appropriation Bill of 1978 by the Subcommittee on Foreign Operations of the Senate Appropriations Committee. The Subcommittee, chaired by Senator Daniel Inouye (Dem. - Hawaii), struck the provision in the House bill prohibiting indirect assistance to Mozambique and Angola (i.e., through United Nations agencies and, in the case of Mozambique, through the African Development Fund), but kept the House prohibition against direct aid to these countries from funds appropriated under this legislation. The full Committee on Appropriations later agreed to the Subcommittee's action. The mailing says right-wing Senators may try on the Senate floor to put the prohibition against indirect assistance back into the bill. People are urged to tell their Senators they oppose any prohibition of assistance to Mozambique and Angola.
