He stated the State Department had advised him all five of the conditions listed in the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act, passed in 1986, under which sanctions could be lifted, had been fulfilled. He also stated the political changes ending apartheid in South Africa were “irreversible.” The end of sanctions allowed trade with South Africa, bank loans to the South African government, and airline connections to the country.

The lifting of sanctions came one day following the International Olympic Committee’s announcement allowing South Africa to compete in international Olympic competition.
