Re: Update Info. on the House Burma Sanction Bill (July 19, 1996)

Dear Friends,

Within this week, we have much great news about co-sponsorship for the House version of 
Burma Freedom and Democracy Act of 1995 (HR.2892). Yesterday (July 18), Congresswoman 
Nancy Pelosi (D-California) and Congressman Lane Evans (D-Illinois) have agreed to 
co-sponsor the Burma Freedom and Democracy Act of 1995 (HR.2892). 
I would also like to encourage all of you to call or write a short thank-you note to 
those who have sponsored the Burma Sanction bill. 

Special Announcement: The Burma and the U.S. Congress (Legislative Information Network) 
home page is already up on the web. THE BURMA and THE U.S. CONGRESS information network 
is designed to make legislative information available to the Free Burma Campaign over

Congressional activities with regard to Burma, including legislation under
