Memorandum to the Nationwide Peace Education Executive Committee Board of Directors. Responding to the current crisis inside South Africa, there is a heartening interest in U.S. (and international) actions against apartheid. Engagement with the South African government cannot be the focus of U.S. policy that has its goal abolishing apartheid. U.S. policy must focus on South Africa's role in destabilizing economies and the political and social structures in the whole of southern Africa, as well as on the injustices imposes on Blacks within their country.

The memorandum mentions one person/one vote, the Group Areas Act, the Constitution, labor laws, the Pass Laws, the Population Registration Act, a multi-racial South Africa, justice, stability, peace, U.S. intervention, the current emergency decree, and violence.
