I have long been concerned about the situation of the former Portuguese colony of East Timor. Though the situation is not as severe as it was several years ago it still remains a serious problem. On June 12. Parade magazine published a story by Irving Wallace. David Wallechinsky. and Amy Wallace concerning the terrible toll the conflict in East Timor has had on its people and the land. While today the situation has improved. we still receive reports of hunger and malnutrition. and human rights violations. In addition. the Indonesian Government continues to severely restrict emigration from the island. and also to limit visits by foreign journalists and diplomats. Mr. President.
