Another Attempt to create Confusion and Unrest by the 	 NLD


	The NLD had planned to hold an  All Burma Congress of the National
League for Democracy  on the 27th of September. They have sent out
invitations to various embassies and reporters on the 26th of September
and expected about (600) people to attend this function. It is clearly
stated by the law that a prior permission has to be obtained from the
authorities concerned if a congregation of this size is going to be held.

	The date the conference is to be held on the 27th of September to
the 29th of September and these days are chosen to coincide with the  U.N
General Assembly and also the day when the U.S Congress enacts the Bill on
Myanmar. It is learnt that the NLD intends to make statements and demands
after reading 
reports on political, economic, youth and legal affairs. In order to avoid
unnecessary turmoil and instability in the country, the authorities
concerned on the 27th of September prevented this event from taking place.

	It is also learnt from the following activities that this event
was created by the NLD after several meetings with the CDA of U.S Embassy
in Yangon.

	On the 24th of September the U.S CDA Ms. Myers called on the
Director General of the Political Department of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs and during the talks she briefed the Foreign Ministry official on
the contents of the bill regarding Myanmar which is soon to be passed in
the U.S Congress. She also mentioned that a political rally was to be held
at Daw Su Kyi s compound on the 
28th and 29th of September and she urged the Government of Myanmar not to
restrict or hinder the NLD conference in anyway. She also went on to say
that the U.S. Government was watching very closely and does not want
unhappy incidents from occurring in Myanmar. Ms. Meyers stated that they
shall be pleased if a dialogue between the Myanmar Government and Daw Su
Kyi took place.

	Ms. Meyers has on the 6th and 29th of August came over to Daw Su
Kyi s house and on the 12th of August Daw Su Kyi went over to Ms. Meyers
house for discussion. Similarly, Mr. Mark Taylor, a U.S Embassy staff came
to Daw Su Kyi s house for discussion on the 3rd, 17th, 18th, 19th, 22nd,
23rd, of 
August and 15th, 21st, 22nd, 26th of September... 

	On the 24th of September Ms. Meyers held a dinner meeting with Daw
Su Kyi, U Tin Oo, Daw Su Su Lwin (a staff from the UNICEF) and (7) other
NLD members.

	It is quite obvious that the NLD has coordinated this movement in
collaboration with some foreign countries to create unnecessary confusion
and unrest in the country. They have also planned in a way that this
incident will coincide with the meeting that is taking place at the U.N
General Assembly and the day the U.S Congress approves the enactment of
the Bill on Myanmar. In order to prevent peace and tranquility from being
disrupted in the country the authorities concerned had no choice but to
take necessary preventive measures by preventing the NLD conference from
taking place.
	The authorities concerned has called in the NLD party members who
are involved in this movement for questioning and it is also learnt that
no arrest has been made.
