Leaflet advertising a public hearing before the East Lansing City Council on March 30 to consider a resolution which would have East Lansing refuse to buy goods from nine American corporations who support the apartheid regime in South Africa through their economic investment and activity. The leaflet urges people who oppose the racist South African regime to attend and show their support for this resolution. Representatives have been invited from the nine corporations - Caltex, Firestone, General Motors, IBM, ITT, Kennecott, Mobil, Motorola and Union Carbide. The leaflet argues that continued business dealings of U.S. corporations with the South African government supports the perpetuation of apartheid, whereas disengagement of U.S. companies is an important assistance to those who are working to end apartheid. The leaflet argues that U.S. corporations will not voluntarily withdraw from South Africa; they will do so only under pressure. The leaflet quotes Prime Minister B.J. Voster. • AMERICAN CORPORATIONS, SOUTH AFRICAN APARTHEID AND US • East Lansing and Apartheid
