HEADLINE: LEON SULLIVAN REGRETS LIFTING OF SOUTH AFRICA SANCTIONS
BYLINE: By Peter Cooney
DATELINE: PHILADELPHIA, July 10
KEYWORD:
SAFRICA-SANCTIONS-SUL
BODY:
The Reverend Leon Sullivan, the black civil rights leader who spearheaded
the drive for U.S. disinvestment in South Africa, said on Wednesday he regrets
President George Bush's decision to lift U.S. sanctions against South Africa.
In 1977, he drafted a set of guidelines, known as the Sullivan Principles,
for U.S. companies operating in South Africa.
A decade later, the cleric, frustrated by the lack of progress in abolishing
apartheid, abandoned the guidelines. He urged the United States to sever
relations with South Africa and impose a total embargo until apartheid was
abolished.
"I would have hoped that they (sanctions) might have stayed on a little while
longer because I think South Africa still requires that pressure be applied to
it for the final act of democratisation for blacks," Sullivan said in a
telephone interview.
"I will be saying to cities and states: 'Keep your sanctions on until there
is constitutional and political equality for blacks,' said Sullivan, pastor
emeritus of Zion Baptist Church in Philadelphia.
Acknowledging South Africa's progress in dismantling apartheid, Sullivan
said: "I am more confident than ever, but the pressure must stay on.
"The Mandelas and the blacks need that strength when they meet (with the
government) at the negotiating table," he said, referring to African National
Congress leader Nelson Mandela and his wife, Winnie.
Sullivan said that sanctions were vital in persuading South Africa's white
minority government to repeal the laws underpinning apartheid, the policy of
racial separation.
Sullivan said Bush's move was within the letter of the U.S. sanctions law,
which stipulated that the White House could lift sanctions once South Africa met
certain conditions.
Asked about arguments by civil rights groups that the South African
government had not met all conditions, including the freeing of political

prisoners, Sullivan replied: "That is a call for the president, who wasn't so
anxious to support sanctions anyway."
The U.S. Congress passed the sanctions law in 1986 over then-president Ronald
Reagan's veto. Bush was Reagan's vice president.
Sullivan said that when black political equality is achieved, possibly within
a year, he will lead an effort to encourage U.S. companies to return to South
Africa and to assist in the education of South African blacks.

As historian and humanist, teacher and university leader,
Hanna Holborn Gray has assured that young generations learn the
fundamentals of our civilization -- truths that never bend to
fashion. In the highest ranks of academic leadership, she has
strengthened Yale University and the University of Chicago and

FRIEDRICH AUGUST VON HAYEK
Friedrich August von Hayek has done more than any thinker of our
age to explore the promise and contours of liberty. He grew up
in the shadow of Hitler's tyranny and devoted himself at an early
age to the nurture of institutions that preserve and expand
freedom, the lifeblood of a full life. The Road to Serfdom still
thrills readers everywhere and his subsequent works inspire
people throughout the world because they possess the vigor and
feel of real life -- not just the hollow ring of abstract theory.
Professor Hayek has revolutionized the world's intellectual and
political life. Future generations will read his works with the
same sense of discovery and awe that inspire us today.
THOMAS P. O'NEILL, JR.
In his 50 years of public service, Thomas P. O'Neill, Jr. was not
just a man of the House of Representatives; he was a man for the
American people. Inheriting the public service tradition from
his father, Tip O'Neill had an uncanny ability to understand
people and politics. He won 25 consecutive elections rising to
become Speaker of both the Massachusetts and United States House
of Representatives while always maintaining his humor, humility,
and touch with the people he served. He said, "All politics is
local, " but he demonstrated that faithful service to the people
also well serves the Nation. The United States honors this
distinguished legislator for his leadership, amity, good humor,
and commitment to service and freedom.

Reverend Leon Sullivan, a civil rights leader and pastor emeritus
of the Zion Baptist Church in Philadelphia, has devoted his life
to the causes of liberty and justice. Reverend Sullivan founded
the Opportunities Industrialization Centers of America, one of
the largest and most prestigious job training organizations in
the world. He later founded the International Foundation for
Education and Self-Help. In 1971, Leon Sullivan was elected to
the Board of Directors of General Motors, becoming the first
black American to participate in the direction of a U.S. auto
company. America honors this man of principle, who in word and
example has shown so many people the way to freedom.
RUSSELL E. TRAIN
As Chairman of the World Wildlife Fund, Russell E. Train has
devoted himself to protecting our precious natural heritage. He
has served the Nation as Administrator of the Environmental

Council on Environmental Quality, and as Under Secretary of the
Interior. Over the years, he has helped shape society's growing
environmental awareness into sound policy. America honors an
ardent conservationist, whose efforts help preserve Nature's
treasures in this country and around the world.

GENERAL VERNON WALTERS
As a soldier and statesman, General Vernon Walters has made
service to his country his life's work. He served six Presidents
with distinction during a half century of kaleidoscopic change,
from World War II through the long Cold War to the fall of the
Berlin Wall. He has served on the battlefields of Europe and in
the councils of NATO, at the UN and CIA, as Ambassador and aide
to Presidents. This extraordinary adventurer and intellectual

the cause of world peace and individual liberty. America honors
this steadfast defender of our interests and ideals, this true

William F. Buckley, Jr. has long served this Nation as a prolific

Dear Mr. President:
I am writing to ask that you consider awarding the
Presidential Medal of Freedom to Professosr Friedrich A. von
Hayek.
Professor von Hayek, now in his 90's, is possibly
the most influential economic writer of the 20th century.
Milton Friedman has commented that in today's worldwide
revival of free market thinking and faith in market behavior
"the Adam Smith role was played by Friedrich Hayek's The
Road to Serfdom."
Conferring international recognition of this type
to Professor von Hayek would also do much to help the
reformers in Eastern Europe who look to him as the key pro-
market economist. The Medal would be a powerful signal to
them that their faith in market economics is not misplaced.
Thank you for your consideration of my request.
Sincerely, Pete

TED WILLIAMS
Americans often measure sports heroes by their ability to inspire
nicknames. When Ted Williams played, fans called him the Kid,
the Splendid Splinter, and in New England, simply Himself. No
one name could capture the aura of this iconoclast, this rebel,
this man who may have been the greatest hitter ever to play the
game of baseball. In 1941, Ted Williams hit .406 -- the last man
to eclipse .400. He won six batting titles, and in the process
became a John Wayne in a Red Sox uniform. In his final at-bat,
he left the game as only a deity of the sport could. He stroked
a home run, No. 521. An author wrote of his retirement: "And
now Boston knows how England felt when it lost India."
Yet Ted Williams never has retired from life. He remains
active and vigorous to this day -- supporting causes he holds
dear, remaining a singular figure in the life of this Nation.
America salutes this American legend.

Reverend Leon Sullivan, a civil rights leader and pastor
emeritus of the Zion Baptist Church in Philadelphia, has devoted
his life to the causes of liberty and justice. Reverend Sullivan
founded the Opportunities Industrialization Centers of America,
one of the largest and most pretigious job training organizations
in the world. He later founded the International Foundation for
Education and Self-Help. In 1971, Leon Sullivan was elected to
the Board of Directors of General Motors, becoming the first
black man to participate in the direction of a U.S. auto company.
A tireless advocate of civil justice in the world, his "Sullivan
Principles" called for greater economic involvement by blacks and
peaceful change in South Africa during the height of apartheid.
America honors this man of principle, who in word and example has
shown many people the way to freedom.

Friedrich August von Hayek has done more than any thinker of
our age to explore the promise and contours of liberty. He grew
up in the shadow of Hitler's tyranny and devoted himself at an
early age to the nurture of institutions that preserve and expand
freedom, the lifeblood of a full life.
"The Road to Serfdom" still thrills readers in the former
communist world, and his subsequent works inspire people
throughout the world because they possess the vigor and feel of
real life -- not just the hollow ring of abstract theory.
Professor Hayek has revolutionized the world's intellectual
and political life. Future generations will read his works with
the same sense of discovery and awe that inspire us today.
America honors this disciple of freedom.

Betty Ford has stood tall for many causes, both as a First
Lady and a leading citizen of this land. She served as a full
partner to her husband throughout his years in Congress and the
White House. She provided selfless, strong and refreshing
leadership on a number of issues, including drug and alcohol
dependency. Her courage and candor have inspired millions of
Americans to restore their health, protect their dignity, and
shape full lives for themselves. The United States honors a
generous citizen, a creative spirit, a valiant woman who has

Don Luis Ferre has led the people of Puerto Rico as a
dedicated public servant, a visionary industrialist, a patron of
the arts and a founder of modern two-party politics in the
Commonwealth. As a young engineer, Don Luis helped run the
family cement company, which eventually became the first Puerto
Rican company to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Over
the course of his life, Don Luis has been involved in newspaper
publishing and university development. He also built and donated
the Ponce Museum of Art and the Ponce free public library.
Later, as founder and head of the New Progressive Party, the
people of Puerto Rico elected Don Luis governor of their great
island. Don Luis equates business success with social
responsibility, and describes himself as "revolutionary in my
ideas, liberal in my objectives, and conservative in my methods."
America honors this pioneer of freedom.
