Lawmakers urge Heath to relax Rhodesia sanctions
Fifty two U.S. Representatives led by Odin Langen urged British Prime Minister Edward Heath to ease the UN backed embargo on Rhodesia. They argue Britain should pursue reconciliation with Rhodesia and that sanctions hurt both the Rhodesian economy and Western access to chromium ore, while the State Department weighs backing the bid.
