Davis reportedly resigned over policy disagreements, while the CIA shared misgivings. Angola’s oil, minerals, and strategic value press for a studied Congressional view beyond partisan lines. Congress should revisit covert aid and address Soviet imperialism without Viet Nam memories forcing isolationism.
