This report to contributors by Americans Against Apartheid (AAA) says the AAA was formed in early 1986 as an independent, non-partisan, non-profit committee to help hasten the end of apartheid through political action in the U.S. by supporting candidates for federal office who support effective sanctions to help end apartheid, support humanitarian aid for apartheid's victims, support actions by other nations to oppose apartheid, oppose efforts to destabilize the Angolan government, oppose aligning the U.S. with the South African military and economic aggression, support genuine independence for Namibia, and support greater economic and security assistance to the neighboring states threatened by South Africa. The report includes an October 10, 1986 letter by The Honorable William Gray and The Honorable Ron Dellums that says Rep. Howard Wolpe played a role in legislative battles to triple the administration's meager request for emergency famine relief, block the ultra-conservatives' schemes for the U.S. to join the South African government in funding Unita rebels in Angola, reduce wasteful foreign military assistance, revamp economic aid to make it genuinely responsive to Africa's urgent needs for economic development, and keep the pressure on the Pretoria regime to dismantle apartheid and to negotiate with the leaders of the black majority in South Africa. • A.A.A.'s Mandate • A.A.A.'s Actions • 1.
