The Honorable Bob Kerrey
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510

Dear Senator Kerrey:
		   
As a group of concerned overseas Vietnamese, we would like to express      
our great appreciation for your strong stand on the matter of human
rights as condition for normalization with communist Vietnam, as
quoted in the Washington Post: "Our price for normalization
should be the freedom for the people of Vietnam."

We emphathize with POW-MIA families for the anguish of having family
members unaccounted for, for all these years. It has always been our
belief that the fate of these servicemen must be satisfactorily resolved
with the full cooperation of the Vietnamese communist regime. We,
however, also strongly share with you the belief that this cooperation should
not be the primary condition for the normalization.  Political freedom 
and genuine improvements in human-rights conditions for the people of Vietnam
should be the terms for normalization.

Again, we thank you for your deep understanding of and your strong
stand on the issue of normalization with Vietnam.  As American, Autralian
and Canadian citizens, we will suport you in this matter with all our 
constituency rights.


Sincerely yours,
