(Measure passed Senate, amended, in lieu of S. Con. Res. 65) Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) the policy of separate development and forced relocation of black South Africans (blackspot policy) is inconsistent with American values and international human rights principles; (2) the U.S. Government should continue to regard South African citizens as all persons born within the internationally recognized boundaries of South Africa and not differentiate among these citizens on the basis of South Africa granting independence to the "homelands"; (3) no visa for travel to the United States should be granted to any "homeland" official unless such official holds a passport which is recognized as valid by the United States; and (4) the United States should urge South Africa to discontinue the blackspot policy and to adopt policies which protect all its citizens regardless of race.
HCONRES 122 - 98A concurrent resolution expressing the sense of the Congress that the Republic of South Africa should cease its "blackspot" policy of removing black South Africans from their ancestral land and relocating them.
Resolution agreed to in Senate in lieu of S.CON.RES. 65 with an amendment and an amendment to the Title and an amended preamble by Voice Vote.
Bill Text Stats
Affected Sectors
How to read this
Sectors are deterministic matches from official Congress.gov data and cached bill text. They are source-derived signals, not conclusions about intent or economic effect.
Evidence matches count official fields, normalized subjects, cached text snippets, or extracted entities that matched the sector rules.
Impact is a bill-level rollup used for sorting and filtering. It is not an economic impact estimate.
Confidence is the strongest individual match score behind that sector.
Evidence snippets show why a sector matched and can repeat when Congress.gov repeats the same phrase across official fields.
