During a visit to Washington this week, British Foreign Secretary Sir Geoffrey Howe is expected to inform U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz that Britain will join with the rest of the European Community to ban imports of South African coal, iron and steel. Preparations are also under way for U.S. and British officials to meet in an undisclosed location with Oliver Tambo, president of the outlawed African National Congress...
