"(3) To the extent practicable consistent with the purposes specified in paragraph (1), assistance under this section should be used to meet the objectives set forth in sections 102(c) and (d) and in other sections of chapter 1 of part I of this Act. "(4) Before obligating any funds under this section, the President shall notify the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate with respect to the specific projects and programs for which such funds will be used. "(b) Of the funds made available under subsection (a) of this section for regional programs, not to exceed $1,000,000 may be used by the President for the preparation of a comprehensive analysis of the development needs of southern Africa to enable the Congress to determine what contribution United States foreign assistance can make. "(c)(1) None of the funds made available under this section may be used for military, guerrilla, or paramilitary activities in any country. "(2) No assistance may be furnished under this section to Mozambique, Angola, Tanzania, or Zambia, except that the President may waive this prohibition with respect to any such country if he determines (and so reports to the Congress) that furnishing such assistance to that country would further the foreign policy interests of the United States. "(d) It is the sense of the Congress that the United States should support an internationaly recognized constitutional settlement of the Rhodesian conflict leading promptly to majority rule based upon democratic principles and upholding basic human rights. The Congress declares its intent to support United States participation in a Zimbabwe Development Fund. The Congrass intends to authorize the necessary appropriation when progress toward such an internationaly recognized settlement would permit establishment of the Fund.".
