                                  A RESOLUTION

     1  Memorializing the President of the United States to begin
     2     negotiations with certain African states to end apartheid in
     3     South Africa.

     4     WHEREAS, The brutal and oppressive apartheid situation in the
     5  Republic of South Africa continues to deteriorate; and
     6     WHEREAS, Continuing to ignore or downplay the situation will
     7  only cause needless suffering by black South African peoples;
     8  and
     9     WHEREAS, Economic support of African states surrounding the
    10  Republic of South Africa would lessen their economic dependence
    11  on the Republic of South Africa; and
    12     WHEREAS, Greater economic independence would give these
    13  states greater leverage to end the apartheid system practiced by
    14  the Republic of South Africa; therefore be it
    15     RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the
    16  Commonwealth of Pennsylvania memorialize the President of the
    17  United States to begin negotiations with Botswana, Namibia,

     1  Zambia and Zimbabwe, and with the African National Congress
     2  (ANC) with the goal of giving these states and the ANC economic
     3  assistance for the purpose of eliminating the apartheid system
     4  of the Republic of South Africa; and be it further
     5     RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be immediately
     6  transmitted to the President of the United States.
