This is to follow up for the announcement of the North America Regional
Conference Round Table Alliance on August 23,1992.  Some people misunderstood
the goals of this conference and has contacted Andrew Tu requesting an
opportunity to speak at the meeting on behalf of certain candidates for the
November General Election.

This conference is designed to discuss issues related to the "POLITICAL REFORM
IN CHINA", not American election year politics.  Representatives from other
ethnic groups might voice their frustration towards the policies of the Bush
administration but they are NOT invited to the meeting to campaign for anyone.
Please note that Round Table Alliance is not to endorse any candidate.

To help refresh your memory, a copy of the conference announcement is attached.

     advance if you intend to give a talk.  The agenda is very full as is.
     We have more than 25 speakers.
