摘要

The United States government demonstrated consistent interest in the problems of the Central African Federation and the issue of Rhodesian independence, but its approach to these problems was not homogenous. U.S. policy can be seen as the result of compromise and conflict between different sections of the bureaucracy that competed to advance interpretations of how best to serve the national interest. There were sharp differences of opinion between policymakers on the degree of support to give the British government and Zambia as a consequence of Rhodesia's UDI, but ultimately the advocates of a minimalist strategy prevailed. Several factors explain why the views of the Bureau of African Affairs were marginalized, but most significant among these was the inability of G. Mennen Williams to exert sufficient leverage with President Johnson, partly as a result of a clouded personal history and partly because the president had little interest in African affairs. Against this background, and with his ambitions to return to state politics, Williams's decision to resign is easily understood.

Mennen Williams）无法与约翰逊总统发挥足够的影响力，部分原因是个人历史阴云密布，部分原因是总统对非洲事务没什么兴趣。在这种背景下，并怀着重返州政的野心，威廉姆斯辞职的决定很容易理解。
