Article Excerpt:
The House today passed legislation to erase a government-imposed stigma against membership in the African National Congress of South Africa. This bill, authored by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Howard L. Berman (D-CA), will remove from U.S. databases any notation that would characterize the ANC and its leaders -- including Nobel Laureate and former South African President Nelson Mandela -- as terrorists.

"This long-overdue bill is the direct result of a stunning and, frankly, embarrassing story for the United States," Berman noted. "Despite recognizing two decades ago that America's place was on the side of those oppressed by Apartheid, Congress has never resolved the inconsistency in our immigration code that treats many of those who actively opposed Apartheid in South Africa as terrorists and criminals."
