Despite all the news in the papers about disvestment of stocks
in companies that do business with South Africa, I have yet to
see a list of such companies.
Surely such a list exists. Could anyone tell me where to get
one?

(212-754-5930) I got one by going there. There is a UN Center Against Apartheid, but they said they don't publish anything. They do have a mailing list which you can get on by calling them (212-754-2488). The newsletter is called "Notes & Documents" The list of companies is called the Khalifa Report, and it is in such demand that I could only get a copy in French at that time (last June). Another interesting document which should be out by now is the Report of the Secretary General on Trade Union Rights in Southern Africa (ECOSOC, 1985). The problem with that list, I think, is that it lists *all* companies, and what you really want, I think (to be an effective boycotter or organizer) is to distinguish between those who just sell their wares in SA and those who take advantage of the cheap labor, and thereby perpetuate apartheid. There is some description on selected companies (I wish I could read French). -Mark Garrett
