The mailing says President Bush calls for doubling the current $40 M aid allocation to South Africa in 1993; Congressman Solarz with other House Members request consideration for a large multi-lateral aid package to South Africa following democratic elections; it is imperative that we critically examine these proposals and determine where we stand and what we support. The mailing says to kick-off this process of examination and review the Washington Office on Africa is sponsoring a half-day briefing and strategy discussion on U.S. aid and southern Africa; the goal of this event is to focus our attention and to develop a laundry list of first steps so that we can move towards responding to these proposals or towards developing an alternative proposal. The mailing says a half-day is a significant amount of time to ask from busy people --but we ask it anyway. If we are to address the proposals already on the table we must move quickly. The mailing says please RSVP by the 26th and plan to arrive on time, we will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m.; come prepared with questions for our guests (agenda attached) and your thoughts for confronting this new and challenging period. The mailing includes a leaflet with the agenda for U.S. AID AND SOUTHERN AFRICA A Briefing and Strategy Discussion on Thursday, February 27, 1992 at the United Methodist Building with two sessions: MOZAMBIQUE: A CASE STUDY and SOUTH AFRICA: CURRENT USAID PROJECTS AND CURRENT NEEDS. The agenda says Mozambique is currently the largest recipient in southern Africa of U.S. development aid; Prexy Nesbitt, consultant to the Government of Mozambique, will discuss both the benefits and difficulties that arise from this situation. The mailing discusses USAID (United States Agency for International Development).
