Rhodesia policy clash over observer plan splits Congress
William Safire reports that Senator Hayakawa and Senator McGovern proposed sending impartial observers to Rhodesia elections, but House allies of Andrew Young and Richard Moose blocked it. The piece argues 64 percent turnout produced a black majority government with substantial white minority power, and criticizes Stephen Solarz for opposing outside verification. It calls for lifting sanctions and US leadership to back Rhodesia’s political experiment and links to Israel’s security.
