Mailing about the Reagan Administration's push to repeal of the Clark Amendment, that limits CIA activity in Angola, urges people to take immediate action to oppose the repeal. The mailing says U.S. "military experts" have already made contact with UNITA (South Africa's puppets in Angola led by Jonas Savimbi) and there are plans for military aid accompanied by more "advisors." South Africa is likely to invade and has "tactical" nuclear weapons plus U. S. artillery to fire them. The mailing says repealing the Clark Amendment is part of the Security Assistance Act of 1982; it is expected to come before the full House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in the first week of May. People are asked to send letters to their Representative and a list of key Representatives and Senators. The mailing includes an article "United States Moving Closer to Involvement with Angola War" by the Episcopal Churchmen for South Africa and a newspaper article, "US men and missiles for Angola Guerrillas."
