Speech #1010028189

I recently met Henry Der. who for 15 years has been the tireless executive director of Chinese for Affirmative Action. In November. he testified before a Senate seminar I held with Senator THOMAS DASCHLE on university admissions policies that unfairly treat AsianAmerican students. In March. Henry Der hosted with Congresswoman NANCY PELOsI a community meeting to discuss my legal immigration reform bill. I took from that meeting some new insights into the immigration concerns of the AsianAmerican community and great appreciation of the spirit and drive of CAA. Mr. President. two articles from the Washington Post and San Francisco Examiner more fully describe the fine work of Chinese for Affirmative Action.
