Hello SCV netters,

While driving this afternoon, I listened to a light-rock song and
really enjoyed it.  Unfortunately though, I could not comprehend
all the words and worse, did not even know the song title :-((
There are a few verses that go like

      "....whenever you call me, I'll be there.
       whenever you want me, I'll be there.
       whenever you need me, I'll be there, I'll be around."

If someone happens to have this song, could you please share it with me?
Thanks a whole bunch!

I don't know much about Mr. Nh. but I do remember what happened to Nguye^~n
Tha'i Bi`nh (NTB). NTB was a foreign student from South VN. He was very active
in the South VN foreign student anti-war group. Because of this the US
government decided to expel him. On the flight home he used a lemon, which he
claimed a hand grenade, and tried to hijack the plane. The CIA shot him dead on
the plane as it parked on the tarmac in Tan Son Nhat airport. (If my memory is
correct he was shot by a plain cloth CIA agent who followed him from the USA.)

This angried some Vietnamese, especially some VN newspapers writers, because
the then Thieu Ky government didn't dare to take any action on something which
was  happening in South Vietnam territory. No formal protest had been filed
with the USA, neither there was in the My Lai massacre! People then asked where
was our "chu? quye^`n". Obviously there wasn't any.

If Mr. Ngo is proved unhonest in dealing with other members then it must be
made clear to all the members, else he's clean. Does anybody still have a copy

On the same note (no pun intended), are there former
students of Quo^'c Gia A^m Nha.c Saigon out there ? Is there a former 
student association or anything like that ?  I like to get in touch with
old friends and reminiscing the good old days.

Are there any vietnamese classical musicians in the Chicago area????
Would anybody be interested in making and playing in an ensemble for
fun and possibly in the future playing concerts if we can get a sponsor??
I am a violinist and since I have changed my major I have not practiced
much or had many opportunities to perform any more.  I think it would be
a good opportunity to play again and also a good opportunity for vietnamese
musicians to work together.  Also we could possibly perform for the

If my recent remarks -- to attribute credit for VISCII to those who
really put in all the work, and who thus deserve acclaim -- can be
interpreted as "public griping", then you indeed have a fertile
imagination.

Thanks, to anh Thanh and you, for taking such initiative!

I agree with you here. My only aim over the past couple days is to
point out some remaining difficulties and/or inconsistencies that I
have found in the VISCII document.

If you can present me with such evidence -- and, if you would, please
send it *verbatim* and *in context*, and *not* your interpretation
thereof -- then I stand ready to withdraw such "unfounded personal
attacks".

No, it's not true.  Vietnamese gang shoot people in the chest.  Other 
worse gang shoot people in the head.  All gangs are bad, no matter where 
they come from.  The common thing is that they all should be put in jail.
I can't help but laugh at this remark.  You mentioned Vietnamese cultures and
values, and then immediately gave an example about Vietnamese gang.  Eventhough
you didn't mean it but it sounds like the vietnamese values is that its gang 
is not the worst.

VIETNAM SACKS OFFICIAL OVER HOUSING SCANDAL

    HANOI, April 6, Reuter - The head of Vietnam's state housing authority in Ho
Chi Minh City has been sacked over a scandal in which senior government
officials were allowed to buy villas at cheap insider prices, according to a
newspaper report.
    The April 3 issue of Saigon Giai Phong newspaper, published in Ho Chi Minh
City and seen in Hanoi on Monday, said Le Thanh Hai had been sacked by city
authorities in a decision signed on March 28.
    Since late last year the city housing authority has sold 380 villas
confiscated by the communists when they won the Vietnam War in 1975. The villas
were sold to their tenants -- mostly current and former state and military
officials.
    The sales sparked a public outcry and were the subject of debate by the
National Assembly, which opened its bi-annual session in Hanoi on March 24.
    Prime Minister Vo Van Kiet signed a special decree on March 13 declaring
null and avoid the old rule allowing houses to be sold in that way.

         I agree that there might be some coercion or force used by the 
Vietnamese government, but giving up their power right now would create 
chaos just like the many Soviet republics are experiencing right now.  I think
that eventually they should give up their power to make ways for the young and
practical leaders to face the competitive world market.  The transition must
be gradual but steady.  The pace they are reforming now is still a bit slow.  They shoud make it easier for Vietnamese abroad to come back and invest in Vietnam.  Right now, other countries are coming into Vietnam to become bosses of big business. Why not encourage the Vietnamese people to become bosses?
Of course they have to make it possible for Vietnamese to come back and invest first.

         I remember their actions vividly.  Ask yourself now, what is there about
Vietnam that I can be proud of?  Do I want to be proud of my country?

U.S. RULES OUT FORCING VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE HOME

    HONG KONG, April 16, Reuter - U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Richard
Solomon on Thursday ruled out forcing Vietnamese boat people home against their
will, despite thawing relations with former enemy Hanoi.
    The United States had relaxed some aspects of its trade blockade on Vietnam
but had not changed its policy of opposing forcible repatriation of Vietnamese
in Hong Kong, Solomon said in a satellite news conference from Washington.
    "The fact that we seem to be moving to a new period in Indochina with
reduced tensions, more effort to develop the economies will create the right
context to resolve the issue of the refugees in Hong Kong," he said.
    The United States has long opposed the forced return of Vietnamese in Hong
Kong who have been determined by U.N. criteria to be economic migrants rather
than refugees fleeing political persecution.
    Hong Kong has forcibly repatriated three planeloads of Vietnamese since
December 1989, despite U.S. opposition.
    With progress towards peace in Cambodia and warming ties between Vietnam and
the United States, Hong Kong and its British colonial rulers have sought support
for returning some of the 60,000 Vietnamese held in camps across the colony.
    The United States, which this week ended a ban on telecommunication links
with Vietnam, would not try to use its new ties to pressure Hanoi to accept back
boat people screened out as refugees, Solomon said.
    "My impression is that pressure isn't the way to solve the problem.
    "As I've said for some time our hope is that...the environment, the
political mood, certainly the economic circumstances will change significantly
and the people who now don't face a very bright future in the refugee camps in
Hong Kong or elsewhere in southeast Asia will voluntarily choose to return
home," he said.
