But Africans would applaud them if they walked in tomorrow. It doesn't matter what the color of their skin is. We were pleasantly surprised to see [Secretary of State Henry] Kissinger in his Lusaka speech taking a position for the liberation of southern Africa. In that area there has never been a position stated by the Americans...
