Portuguese African Territories of Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau: 
                           Independence Policy

    Pub. L. 93-559, Sec. 50, Dec. 30, 1974, 88 Stat. 1816, as amended by 
Pub. L. 97-113, title VII, Sec. 734(a)(8), Dec. 29, 1981, 95 Stat. 1560, 
provided that:
    ``(a)(1) Congress finds that the Government of Portugal's 
recognition of the right to independence of the African territories of 
Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau marks a significant advance toward 
the goal of self-determination for all the peoples of Africa, without 
which peace on the continent is not secure.
    ``(2) Congress finds that progress toward independence for the 
Portuguese African territories will have a significant impact on the 
international organizations and the community of nations.
    ``(3) Congress commends the Portuguese Government's initiatives on 
these fronts as evidence of a reaffirmation of that Government's support 
for her obligations under both the United Nations Charter and the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
    ``(b) Therefore, Congress calls upon the President and the Secretary 
of State to take the following actions designed to make clear United 
States support for a peaceful and orderly transition to independence in 
the Portuguese African territories:
        ``(1) An official statement should be issued of United States 
    support for the independence of Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-
    Bissau, and of our desire to have good relations with the future 
    governments of the countries.
        ``(2) It should be made clear to the Government of of Portugal 
    that we view the efforts toward a peaceful and just settlement of 
    the conflict in the African territories as consistent with 
    Portugal's obligations under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
    partnership.
        ``(3) The United States should encourage United Nations support 
    for a peaceful transition to independence, negotiated settlement of 
    all differences, and the protection of human rights of all citizens 
    of the three territories.
        ``(4) The United States should open a dialog with potential 
    leaders of Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau and assure them of 
    our commitment to their genuine political and economic independence.
        ``(5) The economic development needs of the three territories 
    will be immense when independence is achieved. Therefore, it is 
    urged that the United States Agency for International Development 
    devote attention to assessing the economic situation in Angola, 
    Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau and be ready to cooperate with the 
    future governments in providing the kind of assistance that will 
    help make their independence viable. In addition, the United States 
    Government should take the initiative among other donors, both 
    bilateral and multilateral, in seeking significant contribution of 
    development assistance for the three territories.
        ``(6) In light of the need of Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-
    Bissau for skilled and educated manpower, a priority consideration 
    should be given to expanding current United States programs of 
    educational assistance to the territories as a timely and 
    substantive contribution to their independence.
    ``(c) [Repealed. Pub. L. 97-113, title VII, Sec. 734(a)(8), Dec. 29, 
1981, 95 Stat. 1560.]''
