      In English, it's:

          Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

      You know what 'Christ' stands for, right. And 'X' is no equivalence.

Hello all,

	We are doing research on various items that international countries
would be interested in exporting and importing.  The items can consist of
anything from clothing to large machines.  Of course, they must be a legal
product to enter and exit the different countries.  These are some questions 
that we are trying to find the answers to:
 
1.) How would we gather information concerning the legal regulations on
	shipping to or from Vietnam? 

2.) Who would an individual contact in that country about shipping
	requirements?  

3.) What kind of licences or paper work does a company need to enter
	that foreign market place?


I really would appreciate any help concerning this matter.  Thank you very
much for your time and hope to hear from you soon.




Sincerely,


Ron Ables

Pot Case

Copyright, 1992. The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

   SEATTLE (AP) -- Two brothers who financed lavish lives in Europe while
running a huge marijuana ring have pleaded guilty to smuggling, authorities
said.
   Christopher Shaffer, 43, a fugitive in Europe until he surrendered last
week, pleaded guilty Friday in U.S. District Court. He faces up to 10 years in
prison and a $2 million fine.
   Also pleading guilty was William Shaffer, 46, who was arrested earlier this
year in Germany. The elder Shaffer, who U.S. Attorney Mike McKay said was the
ring's mastermind, faces 10 to 15 years in prison and forfeiture of $3 million
in drug profits.
   Three others pleaded guilty to money laundering in connection with the ring.
They face sentences ranging from five to 10 years, as well as fines.
   Authorities said the Shaffers made more than $50 million from a 23-ton
marijuana shipment in 1986 and a 42-ton haul in 1987. The money was laundered
in Europe, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Bartlett.
   Authorities said the marijuana was shipped from Vietnam to Alaska,
transferred to fishing vessels and taken ashore near Seattle, then driven in
trucks to California.
   Authorities broke the ring after a tip from a disgruntled employee, Bartlett
said.
   While a fugitive, authorities said William Shaffer lived a well-publicized
high-rolling lifestyle in Switzerland, Italy, France and Germany and owned a
104-foot yacht.

A long time ago I got pissed off by some insensitive remarks by an
inexperienced person that many VNese refugees are seeking for economic,
and not political asylum. Part of my anger stems from the fact that
thousands and thousands of Vnese boat people have to endure many
humiliattions by our Asian neighbors, notably Thailand. Of course
I don't want to 'vo+ ddu?a ca? na('m' to the Thai people, but as far
as I am concern, the Thai government should publicly apologize for
the barbarian acts committed by the Thai pirates. Unknown number of VNese
children and women were kidnapped from the sea and sold to whorehouses
around Thailand. Their lives were ruined because of the desire to live in
a democracy. These escapes by boat have diminished since the collapse of
communism around the world, but the situation of our missing women still
remained to be answered. Who is to be blamed for this tragic problem ?
The Communist government in VietNam is one, but its accomplice can also
include Thailand and some South-east asian countries who recently take
a dim view on the Vnese refugees ...

Please forward any comments to my email address since I can't check SCV
for follow-up articles.

Hi netters,

Long time ago I saw several articles posted under  the
soc.culture.vietnamese news regarding to seeking volunteers
to teach English and other subjects in refugee camps
and in Vietnam.

If you know anything about that, please re-post the article
on the network or e-mail directly to me.

The reason that I am looking for that news is because
I just know two people graduated from North Western University
of IL., would like to quit their jobs and seeking for jobs
or volunteer to help Vietnamese people.  I think those
two people are the excellent candidates because they are
American and graduated from a good school.

Again, I appreciate very much if you can give me information
I need.

  It is possible to not speak Vietnamese, or have very little chance
  to speak it for 17 years.  Those of you who grew up in communities
  where there are many Vietnamese might not understand this point.

  There are families who settled in areas where there are few other
  Vietnamese family.  The children of these families grew up with
  little contacts with other Vietnamese.  The smaller the family
  (few brothers and sisters), the less chance they have to practice
  Vietnamese.  Remember that there are 50 states in the US and not
  just California or Texas (where there are large concentration of
  Vietnamese).

  It is better to try to understand the possibilities and have compassion
  for this brave young woman, instead of condemning her without knowing
  her full story.
