Today the world knows much better what she has sought to say. The people of Burma live under the most terrible of repression. All sorts of atrocities: arrest. torture. murder. even genocide against minorities. We in the Senate have followed her struggle since 1988 and pledged our support. We have withheld aid from the regime and given some. albeit modest amounts. to the refugees who have fled the regime. We have imposed an arms embargo and taken economic actions against the regime. Secretary Baker spoke eloquently of our opposition to the regime and the need to isolate it at the meeting of the ASEAN members in Kuala Lumpur last June.
