I am., sure you'would also be- interested in knowing about ....,--
what FRELIMO is doing to implement at least some of these decisions
by the Congress,  as you may realize., it would, be...unwise for me....to •	
give you any indication of what v/e are doing to implement those
resolutions which have to do with direct action within Mozambique. -•■
There are, however, two areas of action v/e can freely outline publicly without danger.  These are:  diplomatic action and education.
Since the formation of FRELIMO, and even before, diplomatic contacts,
have been intensified in all parts of the world.  For example, we
have made certain that our point, of view.is well understood by those
committees of the United Nations which are directly responsible, for
gathering information on Portuguese colonies.  Consequently, as soon
as-the meetings of the Congress ended, I flew back to New York to
petition in the Fourth Committee of the General assembly when our
territory was being considered.  We also intensified our contacts
with international conferences in Africa, Asia and the Americas.  At
the .annual conference of PAFMECSA v/hich met at Leopoldville, Congo,
Mr. Uria Simango, the- vice-president of FRELIMO, presented a petition
on our behalf.  At the Moshi Conference of the Afro-Asian Solidarity
Council, we-sent a team of five members, of the Central Committee who
shared the responsibility of presenting our case.  In the United
States, I attended the first Negro Leadership Conference on Africa,
where I presented a background paper on conditions in Mozambique and .
participated in.informal discussions, giving substantive information
to the delegates.  Our university students in Europe and North
America also carry the responsibility of informing their fellow-
students on Mozambique whenever they attend international student
conferences.  They have a student organization, Uniao Nacional dos
Estudantes de Mopambique (UNEMO), which works in close cooperation
v/ith FRELIMO.  We believe that our. case against Portuguese colonialism deserves to be known by all peoples of the world.  We also hope ""■
that through this knowledge the representatives of the peace loving
