                     (November 1-15)


Nov. 4:   The HQ sent a letter of congratulation to President-elect
          Bill Clinton. The letter urged Clinton to pressure the
          Chinese government on human rights related issues.

Nov. 5:   The HQ disclosed the GDL project. GDL is a group
          distribution list which will send IFCSS email
          announcements to local CSS networks so that local CSS
          members may automatically receive IFCSS news from their
          local email networks.

Nov. 6:   The HQ announced that the June 4th Foundation now has
          been consolidated and can accept donations. The June 4th
          Rescue funds in the University of North Carolina have
          been transferred to the IFCSS June 4th Foundation. Some
          others are considering such move. Obviously, IFCSS has
          strengthened its image among the CSS community.

          visited the HQ to collect materials for the IFCSS White

          future of IFCSS).

Nov. 10:  The HQ issued a report on the State Department's
          interpretation on S1216 and pointed out that there will
          be a long way to go in the implementation of S1216.

Nov. 12:  IFCSS Vice-president He Baoping and Executive Director
          Zhang Qingsong met with some executives and discussed
          helping IFCSS members find jobs after graduation. They
          agreed to start on Computer, communication and networking
          related fields. A detailed report will come out in a day
          or two.

Nov. 13:  The HQ released an open letter signed by President Geng
