Rhodesia plan sets resignation timetable
A British U S plan aims for Rhodesia to become a black ruled independent state by September 24 1978 with Prime Minister Ian Smith resigning by next summer. It calls for a provisional power handover, lifting the UN embargo and a cease-fire with rebels. The scheme envisions a joint British American presence in Lusaka or Dar es Salaam, coordinating with rival black factions and likely excluding the Smith government from talks.
