Mailing to Members of the Southern Africa Group, N.C.C. Detroit conference, from Rev. William K. DuVal. The mailing says I have finally managed an attempt to draw together a report on the final session of our working group; a copy is enclosed. The mailing includes SECTION 1 GROUP 6 SOUTHERN AFRICA REPORT 3 that says in moving toward specifics regarding tactics and strategies for dealing with Southern Africa problems it was recognized that most people come to the issue of action with an "either/or" approach; they are either for general "disengagement" being the way to shock change from within or for "engagement" in order to erode the internal structures and strictures; our orientation, however, suggests a pragmatic, realistic, and multi-strategy approach; we seek first to determine a general direction, keeping the goal clearly before us, in the light of which we consider contextually the several possibilities for action under various criteria.
