Dear Chinese Students and Scholars:

       As you have seen from previous mails the Chinese Protection Bill
has been sent to the Congress for discussion. Haiching Zhao, the former
president of IFCSS has reported the urgent situation in somewhat detail.
The nationwide lobbying act after struggling hard for a couple of years
now reaches the final stage.
       Since this bill will benifit not only those CSS covered by the
president executive order but also those CSS coming late in applying for
PR because of less competition, it is actually a widely beneficial issue
for all the Chinese Students and Scholars in the States. Based on this
common sense, on July 22, our Buffalo CSSC held a meeting to discuss the
detailed action of pushing this bill. Many constructive suggestions were
put forward. Decisions have been made on the following issues.

       1. Buffalo CSSA strongly support the lobbying effort of IFCSS.
Keep in touch with the Headquarter of IFCSS to get the first-hand
informations on the update progress and let the public informed.

       2. Our lobbying group will make an extra move in making phone calls
or sending fax and letters to those Congressman/Congresswomen to ask for
their support. Direct contact with them is deemed to be the most effective
way of lobbying action.

       3. To make things workable, donation is necessary not only finacially
but also spiritually. As the previous experiences indicate, the global effort
will definitely push this action into a high-gear unstoppable nationwide move.
Three ways are optional in making donation (It's better to send checks payable
to CCSA/Immigration Fund):

       (1) Buffalo CSSA lobbying group calls on all departmental coordinators
to act immediately to collect donation (and names of donators) from your
department and send to the following address:
        Mr. Daoguo Zhou
        SUNYAB Clinical Center
        Division of Infectitious Diseases
        BB103, 462 Grider Street
        Buffalo, NY 14215

       (2) Everyone may send your check directly to the above address without
going through your departmental coordinators. We will post the names of all
donators (not for those who don't want to).

       (3) You may also directly send check to CCSA/Immigration Fund by
the following address:
        CCSA
        P.O.Box 65307
        Washington D.C. 20035-5307

       4. You may let the American friends around you being aware of the
content of this Bill and teach them about the current human right situation
in PRC (For examples, the denial of Gong Xiaoxia's entry for home; the 7 years
sentence in jail of Bao Tong; and the earlier sentence of Chen Zhimin and
Wang Juntao; etc). You may ask them to call those Congressman/Congresswomen
listed in the Haiching Zhao's report for petition as well.

       When working together we can make difference for sure!
