Security Council approval, Botha has pushed strongly for guarantees that no Cuban troops will remain in Angola after the deadline. The Brazzaville agreement also did not address the continued presence in Angola of bases manned by anti-South African fighters of the African National Congress...

The first draft was submitted by two Democratic holdovers in the upper bureaucracy who were so skeptical of getting a hearing that they referred to it as the Christian Working Man's Anti-Communist National Defense Rivers and Harbors Act of 1969. But their handiwork caught the eye of another Democrat, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who had come into the Nixon White House as a presidential assistant, and who blarneyed Nixon into endorsing the idea...
