manage the financial risks of premature death, disability, 
and long-term care; 
Whereas individuals, families, and businesses can benefit

vice, including an assessment of their life insurance 
needs; and

The Congress finds as follows: 
(1) Aung San Suu Kyi was born on June 19, 
1945, in Rangoon, Burma, to Aung San, commander 
of the Burma Independence Army, and Ma Khin 
Kyi. 
(2) On August 15, 1988, Ms. Suu Kyi, in her 
first political action, sent an open letter to the mili-
tary controlled government asking for free, open, 
and multi-party elections. 
(3) On September 24, 1988, the National 
League for Democracy (NLD) was formed, with Ms. 
Suu Kyi as the general-secretary, and it was, and re-
mains, dedicated to a policy of non-violence and civil 
disobedience. 
(4) Ms. Suu Kyi was subsequently placed under 
house arrest, where she remained for the next 6 
years—without being charged or put on trial—and
