[Dear Friend, I have enclosed several pieces of important information concerning the sanctions situation and the upcoming vote on UNITA aid next week.]

Mailing with a cover letter signed by Jackie Wilson, Network Coordination. The cover letter says I have enclosed several pieces of important information concerning the sanctions situation and the upcoming vote on UNITA aid next week; I know that there are a lot of materials enclosed; however, things are happening so quickly that there is much to relay to you; I am writing this letter informally, so if you need any clarification, please give me a call. The cover letter says we need to do some immediate telephone and telegram work; there is still a chance to influence both of these pieces of legislation; but, the votes will be next week so there is not much time; the UNITA aid section of the Intelligence Authorizations Act will come up on Wednesday or Thursday; a sanctions bill or an amendment with sanctions in it could come up at any time. The cover letter says I have the enclosed attachments in alphabetical order; Appendix A is a rough summary of the marked-up Lugar bill (S 2701) that was reported out of committee last week (15-2 with Pressler and Helms were the only two dissenters). The cover letter says the next packet of information is Appendix B which contains an extensive memorandum with attachments that was sent to about 10 Senators who wanted suggested options for amendments to strengthen the Lugar bill. The cover letter says Appendix C is a brief overview of what happened in the Foreign Affairs Committee last week. Again, some of the key loopholes are listed. The mailing includes a memorandum Re: Possible amendments to S 2701 by Damu Smith. The mailing discusses Senator Kennedy, new investment, the trade credit exemption, the ban on bank loans to the private sector, grassroots folks, Senator Weicker, Senator Byrd, Senator Dole, the Defense Authorizations Act, Contra aid, Hamilton's amendment, Jonas Savimbi, illegally occupied Namibia, UN Security Council resolutions, South Africa's total foreign debt, foreign debt, a textile agreement with south Africa, the death toll, the destruction of infrastructure by the South African army in Southern Africa, the ban on imports from some South African parastatals, the Federal Agricultural Cooperative of South Africa Limited (FSCSAL), black plantation workers, agricultural contract laborers, the reinvestment of profits, a ban on new investment, the ruling Nationalist Party, importation, apartheid steel, the jobs of U.S. steel workers, the Beira Corridor Project, the Front Line States, MNR (Renamo), Representaive Robert Wise, the Commodity Control List, Export Administration Regulations, sea surveillance aircraft, the arms embargo, Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM), lasers, Cryptographic Equipment, Tom Conrad, NARMIC, South African goods and services, divestment, tourism, and Conyers' Amendment to HR 4868.
