Ford and General Motors supply trucks to the police and military that are used in their "sweeps for dissidents." General Electric is developing a communications system for the army. Yet all these companies receive "good marks" under the supposedly anti-apartheid Sullivan Principles. Other companies involved in South Africa in which the University invests include DuPont, Exxon, Mobil, R.J. Reynolds, Standard Oil of California, and Texaco.
