A Call to Corgress to Restore Sapctioirs Apair st Rfbodesia We call on Congress to restore U.S. sanctions against Rhodesia, to renew our country's adherence to international law and to the U.N. treaty obligations. We call for the restoration of sanctions because we support majority rule in Rhodesia. Since 1971, imports from Rhodesia in violation of sanctions have given economic and political aid to an illegal regime which is based on the disenfranchisement of the 95% African majority and discriminatory social and economic laws parallel to apartheid in South Africa. Advocates of imports from Rhodesia in violation of sanctions have argued that these imports contribute to national defense by lessening imports of chrome ore from the Soviet Union. However, imports of Soviet chrome have actually remained at the same level; and, the U.S. stockpile of chrome ore is in excess of projected needs. Consequently, the Administration has submitted legislation to sell off the unneeded reserves. The breaking of sanctions against Rhodesia is threatening U.S. jobs. The U.S. Ferroalloys Association announced in May that 19 ferrochrome plants in the U.S. are endangered by the surge of imports from Rhodesia and South Africa where production costs are cut because of conditions of forced labor and special subsidies. FOR THESE REASONS WE SUPPORT THE BI-PARTISAN GROUP OF 25 SENATORS AND 99 REPRESENTATIVES* CO-SPONSORING BILLS S. 1868 (SENATE) AND H.R. 8005 (HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES) TO AMEND THE UNITED NATIONS PARTICIPATION ACT OF 1945 TO RESTORE THE UNITED STATES SANCTIONS AGAINST RHODESIA. *(see listing on back) ------Please return to: Endorsements of this call to Congress will be submitted in support of the AMERICAN COMMITTEE ON AFRICA new bills when the debates start in 164 Madison Avenue the Senate and House of Representatives.
