Description:
"1. At about 16:15 hours on 15-9-97, a military intelligence officer came
to the house of the Chairman of the National League for Democracy (NLD),
U Aung Shwe. The officer started by saying that Secretary (1) of the
State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC) wished to meet the
Chairman at 09:30 hours the next morning (16-9-97). He then said that U
Soe Myint and U Lun Tin, two members of the Central Executive Committee
(CEC) of the NLD would also be included. He added nothing more about
the proposed meeting.
2. Chairman U Aung Shwe, Deputy Chairman U Tin U and General Secretary
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi met at about 16:45 hours to discuss the matter. It
was decided that in accordance with the principles laid down by the NLD
elected Members of Parliament and by the organizational committees of
the NLD at various levels, party matters must be handled jointly by the
Chairman and the General Secretary. Therefore it would not be possible
for the Chairman U Aung Shwe to attend the meeting alone (without the
General Secretary). This decision was conveyed to Deputy Chairman U Kyi
Maung and to Secretary U Lwin and their consent was obtained..."
