Contents: BACKGROUND • LEGISLATION & POSITION • 1) H.R. 2957 - Financial Institutions Bill • 2) H.R. 2971 - Export Administration Act • 3) Other legislation already introduced relating to South Africa • MODE OF RESPONSE • TARGETS • DATE FOR RESPONSE • As a result of well-coordinated lobbying efforts by religious, political, foreign policy, and human rights organizations, the House of Representatives is moving towards adopting three South Africa sanctions bills. Several other resolutions critical of South African government policies and the Reagan administration’s approach to southern Africa have also been introduced and may be considered this year. Rep. Julian Dixon (D-CA, Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus) introduced H.R. 1083 to prohibit U.S. support for International Monetary Fund (IMF) loans to South Africa. The Berman Amendment (Rep. Howard Berman, D-CA) restores Carter-era export controls prohibiting all U.S. sales to the South African military and police.
