Alexander Green Working Paper 17-051 Henry Kissinger: Negotiating Black Majority Rule in Southern Africa James K. Sebenius R. Nicholas Burns Harvard Business School Harvard Kennedy School Robert H.

This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Henry Kissinger: Negotiating Black Majority Rule in Southern Africa by James K. Sebenius, R. Nicholas Burns, Robert H. Mnookin, and L. Alexander Green* December 9, 2016 v1.2 Abstract: In 1976, United States Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger conducted a series of intricate, multiparty negotiations in Southern Africa to persuade white Rhodesian leader Ian Smith to accede to black majority rule. Conducted near the end of President Gerald Ford’s term in office, against substantial U.S. domestic opposition, Kissinger’s efforts culminated in Smith’s public announcement that he would accept majority rule within two years. This set the stage for the later Lancaster House negotiations which resulted in the actual transition to black majority rule. The account in this working paper carefully describes—but does not analyze nor draw lessons from —these challenging negotiations. Forthcoming papers will provide analysis and derive general insights from Kissinger’s negotiations to end white minority rule in Rhodesia.

R. 8005 TO RESTORE SANCTIONS c Ill c ACTION September 28, 1973 I Pressure for early Senate vote on 0 S. 1868 is now vital. , N House hearings to be on October 5. Personal visits to members of Congress needed. Key votes listed. SENATE S. 1868 was favorably reported out ·by unanimous vote of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on September 18th following hearings on September 6th. Senate support for the bill to restore sanctions is growing and we feel relatively certain that a Senate vote will be successful. But Senators Humphrey and McGee are having difficulties pinning Senator Mansfield down on a firm date for a floor vote. We need a vote next week. Delay in the Senate may mean lack of action in the House before adjournment, which is expected to be around Thanksgiving. PLEASE PRESS SENATOR MANSFIELD TO SCHEDULE A VOTE ON S. 1868 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IMPRESS ON HIM THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF GROUPS HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS ISSUE, THE VOTES ARE THERE FOR A VICTORY AND WE CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE TIME AND MOMENTUM IN THE SENATE. Please address telegrams to The Hon. Micha e l J. Mansfield, Office of the Majority Leader,S 208, Capitol Building, Washington D.C. 20510, or phone (202)225-5556 or-2644. ONE KEY SENATORIAL VOTE IS THAT OF SCHWEIKER OF PENNSYLVANIA. The stainless steel industry is exerting heavy pressure on him to oppose sanctions. Schweiker discounts pro-sanctions mail he has received and claims he has not really heard from those who cara about civil rights or racial justice in Rhodesia.
