Reagan hedges on sanctions against South Africa
President Reagan signaled the door remains open to sanctions while listening to Congress and allies. Spokesman Speakes drew a line between punitive economic sanctions and other non punitive steps such as denying landing rights for South African airliners. Senator Lugar praised the president for listening to allies and said the administration would work with the Foreign Relations Committee on any new measures. A Democratic push for strong sanctions gains momentum as the Senate weighs possible landings bans, bank account freezes, and closing U.S. offices, with votes likely after ties to the debt ceiling debate.
