### Sec. 203. Expanding participation in the South African economy.

    (a) The Congress declares that—
       (1) the denial under the apartheid laws of South Africa of the rights of South African blacks and other nonwhites to have the opportunity to participate equitably in the South African economy as managers or owners of, or professionals in, business enterprises, and
       (2) the policy of confining South African blacks and other nonwhites to the status of employees in minority-dominated businesses,
    is an affront to the values of a free society.
    (b) The Congress hereby—
       (1) applauds the commitment of nationals of the United States adhering to the Code of Conduct to assure that South African blacks and other nonwhites are given assistance in gaining their rightful place in the South African economy; and

    (a) It is the sense of the Congress that the labor practices used by the United States Government—
       (1) for the direct hire of South Africans,
       (2) for the reimbursement out of official residence funds of South Africans and employees of South African organizations for their long-term employment services on behalf of the United States Government, and
       (3) for the employment services of South Africans arranged by contract,
    should represent the best of labor practices in the United States and should serve as a model for the labor practices of nationals of the United States in South Africa.
    (b) The Secretary of State and any other head of a department of agency of the United States carrying out activities in South Africa shall promptly take, without regard to any provision of law, the necessary steps to ensure that the labor practices applied to the employment services described in paragraphs (1) through (3) of subsection (a) are governed by the Code of Conduct.

       (4) supporting the rescission of all apartheid laws.
    (c) The President may issue additional guidelines and criteria to assist persons who are or may be subject to section 207 in complying with the principles set forth in subsection (a) of this section.
