Summary: Let $A$ and $B$ be unital separable simple amenable
\CA s which satisfy the
universal coefficient theorem. Suppose {that} $A$ and $B$ are $\mathcal
Z$-stable and are of rationally tracial rank no more than one.
We prove the following: Suppose that $\phi, \psi: A\to B$ are unital
{$*$-monomorphisms}. There exists
a sequence of unitaries $\{u_n\}\subset B$ such that
$
\lim\limits_{n\to\infty} u_n^*\phi(a) u_n=\psi(a)\mbox{ for all } a\in A,
$
if and only if
$
[\phi]=[\psi]\ \text{in } KL(A,B),\ \phi_{\sharp}=\psi_{\sharp}\mbox{ and
}\phi^{\ddag}=\psi^{\ddag},
$
where $\phi_{\sharp}, \psi_{\sharp}: \aff(\tr(A))\to \aff(\tr(B))$ and
$\phi^{\ddag}, \psi^{\ddag}:
U(A)/CU(A)\to U(B)/CU(B)$ are {the} induced maps (where $\tr(A)$ and
$\tr(B)$ are {the} tracial state spaces
of $A$ and $B,$ and $CU(A)$ and $CU(B)$ are the closures of the commutator
subgroups of the unitary groups
of $A$ and $B,$ respectively). We also show that this holds if $A$ is a
rationally AH-algebra which is not necessarily simple. Moreover, for any
{strictly positive unit-preserving} $\kappa\in KL(A,B)$, %preserving the
order and the identity,
any continuous affine map $\lambda: \aff(\tr(A))\to \aff(\tr(B))$
and any continuous group \hm\ $\gamma: U(A)/CU(A)\to U(B)/CU(B)$
which are compatible, we also show that
there is a unital \hm\ $\phi: A\to B$ so that
$([\phi],\phi_{\sharp},\phi^{\ddag})=(\kappa, \lambda, \gamma),$ at least
in the case that $K_1(A)$
is a free group.
