Hosting the meeting were Con gressional Black Caucus members Julian Dixon (D -C alifo rn ia), Ron Dellums (D-California), John Con yers (D-Michigan), George Crockett (D -M ic h ig a n ), W illia m Gray (D - Pa.), and Charles Hayes (D -lll.) Rep. Gray charged that Reagan's "Constructive engagement” policy has been "nothing but a policy of rapprochement with ap arth eid " which has strengthened apartheid. The policy, he said, has encour aged South Africa's open military aggression against M ozam bique, Lesotha, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Angola. Gray said his bill, which prohibits new corporate investment in South Africa, will be offered as an amend ment to Title I I I of the Export Ad ministration Act. Rep. Crockett denounced Reagan for supporting South A frica in its sabotage of Namibian independence using the demand for withdrawal of Cuban troops from Angola as a pre text. " I n my view. South A frica must be made to face certain penal ties for its intransigence on these is sues." The CBC favors sanctions includ ing a ban on Im port-Export Bank and International Monetary Fund credit and loans, corporate and bank disinvestments from South A f rica, term inating export o f U .S . computers and other high tech, and an end to U.S. support of South A f rica's nuclear industry. w HIPS 1314 _ $ Z.-s Whips & Waves is our name.
