The mailing includes a letter to key members of the House and Senate opposing HR 3472 introduced by Congressman Claude Pepper (D-FL) that would provide support for UNITA in Angola.

Any aid to the Contras in Southern Africa, just as to the Contras in Central America, is dangerous and destabilizing. People are urged to contact their Congressional Representative to express outrage at any bill that fund South African-supported guerillas in Southern Africa. Because the Clark Amendment has been repealed, the door is open to overt and covert U.S. intervention in Angola. Both these bills reflect the re-emergence of the East-West definition of the struggle for justice in Southern Africa. The mailing says updates on the bills will be available on the Anti-Apartheid Action Hotline. Also, a written update will follow.
