Front Line States (FLS) was an organization established to achieve black majority rule in South Africa. It no longer exists. Former members included Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe. United States relations with Front Line States reached their peak during the "human right" push of the Carter years, although under Reagan's Assistant Secretary of State for Africa Chester Crocker, the Front Line States were engaged diplomatically to achieve landmark peace accords between South Africa, Mozambique, Angola, and Namibia.

States were supposed to submit their plans for the first stage of smallpox vaccinations by Monday to the federal government.

States were asked to explain who would be offered the shots, timelines and locations for delivering them and a plan for ensuring those at particular risk of severe side effects do not get vaccinated.
