Mailing asking people to write letters to Secretary of State George Shultz and the members of Congress who sit on the House-Senate conference committee for the Export Administration Act. (which contains four important South Africa provisions in the House version, but not in the Senate). The mailing says South Africa erupted in a new outbreak of open violence in the past few weeks, proof one again that bloodshed will only increase until strong action is taken to totally dismantle apartheid. The mailing says the United States government response to these events has been meager and that the Reagan Administration still clings to its illusion that the South African government is reforming. The mailing includes quotes from a State Department spokesman. The mailing says it is imperative that the Administration and Congress be told of the American people's desire for an end to "constructive engagement" and a start to strong action against racism in South Africa.
