text: 167. In conclusion, I wish to thank all members of the Council once again. My Government is indeed gratified at the show of support it has received from the ,Council today. 168. The struggle continues. Victory is certain! 169. Mr. WALTERS (United States of America): The United States welcomes the occasion of this Council meet- ing to reiterate our call for an immediate withdrawal of South African troops from Angolan territory. We join all the members of the Council in deploring the South African incursion into Angola. Acts of this nature can only-frus- trate the hopes and endeavours of all those seeking peace- fully to resolve the problems besetting southern Africa. 170. My Government is one of those convinced that southern Africa needs fewer guns, fewer soldiers and fewer bullets. What will the introduction of more weapons of war into the area-which would result from the implemen- tation of paragraph 5 of the resolution we have just adopted-accomplish? The answer is simple: an escalation of violence .in an already volatile situation, more death, more misery. Our diplomatic efforts are aimed at the achievement of a peaceful settlement in this region. South Africa has no justification for violating Angolan sover- eignty. Angola needs peace, not more foreign troops, for- eign intervention and imported arms. ,’ 171. The United States supports the territorial integrity of Angola and deplores the fact that it has been violated. We call on South Africa to halt this and any further acts of aggression against neighbouring States. But we cannot vote in favour of a call to arms. For that reason, my delegation abstained in the vote on paragraph 5 of the resolution. Since the rest of the resolution was acceptable to us, I had no hesitation in voting for it. 
analysis: The text appears to be a diplomatic statement discussing a conflict between South Africa and Angola, with the United States expressing its views on the situation. The focus is on the political and military aspects of the conflict, with no mention of economic, environmental, or social issues.
