Now, the qualifications to that I think, pretty much limit the significance of it. The separate voting roles, the fact that he remains in power for another 10 months, and the fact that the referendum on the so-called internal settlement is a referendum restricted to white voters, that the blacks will have little or nothing to say about it, and that it excludes the people who have been doing the fighting for the last two years. But, if there is a genuine attempt on the part of leaders inside Rhodesia to bring about a transfer of power, we did not want to condemn that. But I think President Carter has said it's, you know, it's just grossly inadequate. It does not amount to something that we could recognise as a settlement of the question." On Wednesday (22 March) Mr. Young flew to Lusaka, Zambia, to continue his meeting with the so-called "front line" leaders. A spokesman said that Mr. Young had agreed to attend a summit meeting "shortly" between Rhodesia Patriotic Front leaders, who were excluded from the Salisbury settlement, and the leaders of the "front line" states -- Angola, Botswana, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Zambia.
