LETTER TO THE U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE
*************************************
Dr U Ne Oo
48/2 Ayliffes Road
St Marys SA 5042
Australia

May 21, 1997.

Hon. Madeleine K Albright
The U.S. Secretary of State
U.S. Department of State
Washington D.C. 20520, U.S.A.

Dear Secretary Albright:

Re: United States Action on Military Government of Burma
--------------------------------------------------------
I call the Hon. Secretary's attention to the continuing political impasse
in Burma. The State Law and Order Restoration Council is continuing to
refuse to make dialogue with the National League for Democracy and ethnic
nationality groups. In this connection, I should like to recall my
communications on 18-February-1997 and 29-April-1997 to your attention.

As was noted in the 29th April communication, the United Nations Envoys has
visited Burma on May 7-10 and met with various political leaders and also
the SLORC Secretary-1. However, there are no signs of SLORC moving towards
dialogue with opposition as a result of the visit. Much to our
disappointment, it must be concluded that the SLORC's invitation of United
Nations Envoys to Burma had been made - not by a genuine intention to enter
dialogue with the opposition - simply to reduce the pressure of U.N.
Commission on Human Rights on SLORC.

I therefore call on you and Government of the United States to put pressure
upon the military junta in Burma, with any available means within your
power, to enter the dialogue the opposition and to honour the result of
election of 27-May-1990.

Finally, I thank you for your kind attention to Burma. The help from you
and the Government of United States to our democracy movement is greatly
appreciated by the Burmese people.

Yours respectfully and sincerely
Sd. U Ne Oo.
