police.
IBM also contends that con
tinued sales are needed to as
sure the livelihood of its 1,500
former employees, for whom
IBM set up an independent
company when IBM "departed"
in 1987. However, the new com
pany has since been taken over
by Barlow-Rand, a military con
tractor and South Africa's larg

"Barlow-Rand seems capable of
assuring jobs and livelihood for
the ex-IBM employees on Us
own," Leas said.
The resolution has also been
