                   Clinton raises rights issue with Yangon envoy
The Hindu (Oct. 11,1996)

Washongton, Oct 10: The US President, Mr. Bill Clinton, has raised 
the issue of human rights in Myanmar while receviing the credentials 
of the incoming Myanmarese Amnassdor to the US, a US officila said 
yesterday.

The officialwould not say what terms Mr. Clinton used nor would he 
indicate the reaction of the Myanmarese diplomats, Mr. Tin Winn. But 
the fact that Mr. Clinton raised the issue at all was viewed as 
significant, since he did so on an occasion that is usually stricly 
ceremonial. AFP
