(6)(A) Seventy-five percent of the foreign currencies generated by the sale of such imports by the government of the country shall be deposited in a special account established by that government and, except as provided in subparagraph (B), shall be available only for use in accordance with the agreement for economic development activities which are consistent with the policy directions of section 102 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 and which are the types of activities for which assistance may be provided under sections 103 through 106 of that Act.

(3) The administrator shall submit the results of the studies conducted pursuant to this subsection to the Congress within 3 months after the date of enactment of this Act.

(c) SOUTH AFRICA EDUCATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMS.-Funds available to carry out chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 for fiscal year 1986 and fiscal year 1987 which are used for education or training programs in South Africa may not be used for programs conducted by or through organizations in South Africa which are financed or controlled by the Government of South Africa, such as the "homeland" and "urban council" authorities. Such funds may only be used for programs which in both their character and organizational sponsorship in South Africa clearly reflect the objective of a majority of South Africans for an end to the apartheid system of separate development. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prohibit programs which are consistent with this subsection and which award university scholarships to students who choose to attend a South African-supported university.

(d) HUMAN RIGHTS FUND FOR SOUTH AFRICA.-Of the amount allocated for the Human Rights Fund for South Africa under chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 for each of the fiscal years 1986 and 1987, not less than 35 percent shall be used for direct legal and other assistance to political detainees and prisoners and their families, including the investigation of the killing of protestors and prisoners, and for support for actions of black-led community organizations to resist, through non-violent means, the enforcement of apartheid policies such as

(1) removal of black populations from certain geographic areas on account of race or ethnic origin,

(2) denationalization of blacks, including any distinctions between the South African citizenships of blacks and whites,

(3) residence restrictions based on race or ethnic origin, (4) restrictions on the rights of blacks to seek employment in South Africa and live wherever they find employment in South Africa, and

(5) restrictions which make it impossible for black employees and their families to be housed in family accommodations near their place of employment.

SEC. 803. POLICY TOWARD SOUTH AFRICAN “HOMELANDS”. (a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds that

(1) the sanctity of the family, individual liberty, maximum freedom of choice, ownership of private property, and equal treatment of all citizens, regardless of race, are principles which are fully supported by the American people;

(2) the forced relocation of blacks by the Government of the Republic of South Africa to designated "homelands" divides families, as families are required to remain in the "homelands" while fathers seek work in the so-called "white areas";

all parties to the conflict to reach a peaceful internationally recognized settlement. As part of this policy, the United States should carefully consider each type of military assistance it furnishes to any of the parties to the conflict and should seek to insure that the furnishing of such military assistance is consistent with United States policy which seeks a negotiated settlement.

(b) FURTHER STATEMENT OF POLICY.-It is the further policy of the United States to support Morocco's legitimate defense needs and to discourage aggression by any country in North Africa against another.

SEC. 812. FAILURE OF THE ETHIOPIAN GOVERNMENT TO RESPONSIBLY AMELIORATE FAMINE CONDITIONS.

(a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds that

(1) many thousands of Ethiopian people have suffered and died, and an additional ten million people are in danger of death, through starvation caused by prolonged drought;

(2) the Government of the United States has a continuing commitment to the emergency fund under title II of the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954 (the Food For Peace Act);

(3) United States emergency food assistance for Africa in fiscal year 1985 is more than twice the amount provided in fiscal year 1984, and is the largest amount contributed by any single donor;

(4) the Ethiopian Government, as a client state of the Soviet Union, has considered the equipage and modernization of its five hundred thousand-person military organization more vital than alleviating the suffering of its people caused by drought;

(5) the Ethiopian Government has considered the funding of its military organization more vital than promoting a viable national agrarian policy;

(6) there is evidence that the Government of Ethiopia has used the drought- caused famine to induce cooperation from certain dedicated Ethiopians who seek to bring about fundamental changes in their country;

(7) the United States Government is concerned about the seizure by the Ethiopian Government of an Australian aid ship in an attempt to cut off food to its citizens in the northern regions, an area most severely stricken by famine; and

(8) the Ethiopian Government deems the appearance and status of its socialist system more worthy of attention than its citizens and agricultural policies in need.

(b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.-It is the sense of the Congress that(1) the Government of Ethiopia should be condemned for failing in its responsibility to sufficiently ameliorate the severe drought and famine conditions throughout its agrarian countryside;

(2) the Government of Ethiopia should allocate more of its resources toward the development of a more balanced and effective agrarian system;
