The mailing reports on the expected release of Nelson Mandela from prison, perhaps as soon as when President F.W. de Klerk addresses parliament on February 2. The mailing says Walter Sisulu, Desmond Tutu, the ANC and an international committee of prominent anti-apartheid leaders headed by Archbishop Trevor Huddleston have called for reception committees to be organized around Mandela's release; in the United States, the ANC has called for forming a Nelson Mandela Reception Committee (U.S.). The mailing includes MODEL RESOLUTION ON THE RELEASE OF NELSON MANDELA and a Dear Friend letter, NELSON MANDELA RECEPTION COMMITTEE IN THE UNITED STATES by Tebogo Mafole. The mailing includes a newspaper article "ANC leader pushes for lasting peace," with the text of a document Nelson Mandela to former state president P. W. Botha before their talks last year. The mailing discusses comprehensive economic and diplomatic sanctions, the United Nations, armed struggle, the South African Communist Party (SACP), racial oppression, majority rule, and the 1964 Rivonia trial.
