Beyond a doubt, U.S. investors have had a significant impact on the pace and direction of social and political change in South Africa. As an establishment receiving ninety percent of its funding from taxpayers, the Smithsonian has an obligation to reflect American abhorrence of apartheid. I hope you will take action to prohibit the Smithsonian Institution's investment in companies which deal with South Africa's business sector and ensure that taxpayer dollars are not utilized to help support the South African economy.
