Copy of a letter to Mr. Tim Heckler, Executive Director, United States Tennis Association, urging him to prohibit the Tennis Association from South Africa from participating in the United States Tennis Association competition. The letter says the Coalition Against South African Trade (CAST), which is based in the Pacific Northwest, is protesting with other anti-apartheid groups around the country against members of the Tennis Association from South Africa playing in the competition at Flushing Meadows in August. CAST opposes trade or business of any kind with the current South African regime. This includes importation of South African and Namibian uranium, coal, diamonds and other products, and the importation of South African tennis players. United States companies should not continue to do business in South Africa, and Americans should not participate in South African athletic and entertainment events. CAST supports total international economic sanctions against South Africa as the most effective nonviolent means to end apartheid.
