The following U.S.Policy statement explains why Burma cannot fit into the
international community and is not eligible for assistance it needs
desperately. 


The United States condemns in the strongest terms efforts by the State
                                                     Law and Order
Restoration Council (SLORC), recently renamed the State
                                                     Peace and Development
Council (SPDC), to prevent the citizens of
                                                     Burma from exercising
their basic political rights. The United States wants
                                                     an end to human
rights abuses and the installation of a democratically
                                                     elected government in
Rangoon, and supports the aspirations of the
                                                     National League for
Democracy (NLD) and the people of Burma, who
                                                     desire what so many
others around the world now take for granted: the
                                                     chance to freely
express their views and to be represented by leaders of
                                                     their choosing.

                                                     Burma cannot fully
rejoin the international community and gain the
                                                     assistance it needs
until fundamental changes are made. The United
                                                     States maintains its
position that a meaningful political dialogue between
                                                     the Burmese
authorities and the democratic opposition leaders and
                                                     representatives of
the ethnic groups is the only path to a solution of
                                                     Burma's crisis.

That was the U.S.Policy Statement on Burma
