Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the President should urge the Government of South Africa to indicate its willingness to engage in meaningful political negotiations with that country's black majority by: (1) granting unconditional freedom to Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners; (2) recognizing the African National Congress as a legitimate representative for the country's black majority; and (3) establishing the framework for the political talks with the African National Congress and other organizations which could lead to a negotiated settlement with the black majority.
Referred to Subcommittee on Africa.
