The Clark amendment was an amendment to the U.S. Arms Export Control Act of 1976, named for its sponsor, Senator Dick Clark (D-Idaho). The amendment barred aid to private groups engaged in military or paramilitary operations in Angola. Even after the Clark amendment became law, then-Director of Central Intelligence, George H. W. Bush, refused to concede that all U.S. aid to Angola had ceased. The amendment was repealed by Congress in July 1985.[1][2] Image File history File links Flag_of_the_United_States. ...
