Burma in order to broker peace and dialogue in Burma.

LETTER TO THE HON. GARETH EVANS
*******************************
January 9, 1996.

The Hon. Senator Gareth Evans
Minister for Foreign Affairs
The Parliament House
Canberra ACT 2600

Dear Senator

I should like to thank  you  and  Mr  Tim  Fischer  for  your  efforts,  in
connection  with  Mr  Fischer's visit to Burma last December, to help solve
Burma's political disputes. Enclosed with this letter are the communication
to Mr Alvaro de Soto - U.N.'s  Assistant  Secretary-General  for  Political
Affairs - and the current information regarding U.N. General Assembly 1995.
I  would  like   to appeal you to continue your kind efforts in this matter
and make initiatives to visit Burma. For  your  information,  I  have  also
enclosed  the  letter  to the U.S. Congressman Bill Richardson to help us -
the Burmese - in this matter.

I should also say, on this occasion,  that  in  spite  of  the  Australia's
position in Asia being recognized as a middle-ranked-power, the Australia's
influence  upon  the  democracy movement in Burma is greater. It is certain
that Burma will have to undergo an enormous social and political changes in
the near future. I believe Australia,  with  its  expertise  on  democratic
institutions, is at the best position to help us in regards to these social
and political changes.

I thank you once again for your kind attention to this matter.

Yours respectfully and sincerely
Sd. U Ne Oo

1. Mr Tim Fischer, Coalition spokesman for Foreign Affairs.
2.   Secretary,   Human  Rights  Sub-Committee,  Parliament  of  Australia,
