It formerly read as follows: "SANCTIONS AGAINST ZIMBABWE-RHODESIA "Sec. 408. (a) The Congress finds that "(1) it is in the interest of the United States to encourage the development of a multiracial democracy in Zimbabwe Rhodesia based on both majority rule and minority rights; “(2) the elections held in April 1979, in which Zimbabwe-Rhodesians approved through elections the transfer of power to a black majority government, constituted a significant step toward multiracial democracy in Zimbabwe-Rhodesia; "(3) the Government of Zimbabwe-Rhodesia has expressed its willingness to negotiate in good faith at an all-parties conference, held under international auspices, on all relevant issues; "(4) it is in the foreign policy interest of the United States to further continuing progress to ward genuine majority rule in Zimbabwe-Rhodesia and to encourage a peaceful resolution of the conflict; and “(5) the Government of Great Britain, which retains responsibility for Zimbabwe Rhodesia under international law, has not yet taken steps to recognize the legality of the new government. "(b) In view of these considerations, the President shall "(1) continue United States efforts to promote a speedy end to the Rhodesian conflict; and "(2) terminate sanctions against Zimbabwe Rhodesia by November 15, 1979, unless the Presi dent determines it would not be in our national interest to do so and so reports to the Congress. If the President so reports to the Congress, then sanctions shall be terminated if the Congress, within 30 calendar days after receiving the report under paragraph (2), adopts a concurrent resolution stating in substance that it rejects the determination of the President. A concurrent reso lution under the preceding sentence shall be considered in the Senate in accordance with the provisions of section 601(b) of the International Security Assistance and Arms Export Control Act of 1976 and in the House of Representatives in accordance with the procedures applicable to the consideration of resolutions of disapproval under section 36(b) of the Arms Export Control Act." Pursuant to the authority contained in subsec. (b) of this section, the President issued Deter mination No. 80-6 on November 14, 1979, in which he found it to be in the national interest of the United States to continue sanctions against Zimbabwe-Rhodesia. m.
