Botha appeared instead to hold open the possibility that South Africa might agree to the use in some other role of a multinational peacekeeping force, depending on its composition. But in general, our understanding is that in order to lower the tensions in that part of the world, a Cuban troop withdrawal would not be substituated by any foreign forces," he said. He spoke to reporters after what he termed profitable and encouraging talks with Secretary of State Geroge Shultz on various issues, including efforts to achieve an internationally acceptable independence for Namibia (South West Africa).

Bush also linked chances for a Namibia settlement to the pullout of 18,000 Cuban troops from Angola, where insurgents waging a guerrilla war against South Africas rule of Namibia have bases. Botha, who last visited Washington in May when Alexander Haig was Secretary of State, met Shultz Friday for over 2Vz hours.
