London Conference and Rhodesian Sanctions • 2. South Africa Export Controls • 3. South Africa's Nuclear Development • 4. South Africa Statement • Letters, visits and phone calls are need to key members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee urging the vote against S.Con.Res. 51, introduced by Senator Helms. Organizational letters to Secretary of State Vance are needed urging that export controls on military-related equipment be retained and tightened during review period ending December 31. Randall Robinson reported that a group of blacks who met with Carter and Mondale on Nov. 14 urged that sanctions be retained through the entire election process. Alleghany Ludlum has already inquired about the possibility of making election contributions. Ted Lockwood explained why the export controls on military-related goods to South Africa are now under review by the State Department under the new Export Administration Act. The mandatory United Nations embargo against the sale of items on the munitions list will definitely remain, since it was enacted under different legislation, but many other controls are affected. Robinson reported that the Administration has been inadequately keeping Congress informed on whether South Africa has detonated a nuclear device. Lockwood requested reactions to the draft policy paper on South Africa distributed at the last meeting.
