EXECUTIVE ORDER No. 369

(Revoking Executive Order 359)

	WHEREAS, through Executive Orders 281, 288, and 359, the Commonwealth has
sought to support the people of South Africa in their fight for democracy and human rights;
and

	WHEREAS, on April 26 through April 29, 1994, after decades of struggle against the
evils of apartheid, the Republic of South Africa held its first all-race elections; and

	WHEREAS, the Commonwealth participated in this historic event by providing a
venue for absentee voting for all South African citizens present in the New England area on
April 26, 1994; and

	WHEREAS, at this auspicious time, the removal of all restrictions upon companies
doing business in South Africa will promote economic development, and thereby strengthen
South Africa's new democracy; and

	NOW, THEREFORE, I, William F. Weld, Governor of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, by virtue of the authority vested in me as Supreme Executive Magistrate, do
hereby revoke, effective as of this date, Executive Order 359.

Given at the Executive Chamber
in Boston this second day of May in the year one
thousand nine hundred and ninety-four.

William F. Weld, Governor
Commonwealth of Massachusetts
