Faithless Friends." said. they have not received the support they deserve. Therefore. I would ask that $250.000 in refugee assistance be earmarked for Burmese protesters who are now to be found in Thailand. India and border camps under the protection of the ethnic minorities. In addition. I would ask that 15 scholarships be made available through the United States Information Agency for Burmese students and professionals now outside Burma because of their prodemocracy activities. I would also ask that a report be requested from the Attorney General and Secretary of State on our immigration policy toward these Burmese protesters. This is the same provision that was adopted by the Senate on the immigration bill considered last week. So far. it appears that we have not offered them any help at all. And to be true to our principles. we can not do less for them than we have for the students of China.
