I am not a Burmese expert. I came to be involved as a member of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus on the Burma issue which. along with Representative ROHRABACHER. in a truly bipartisan effort we attempted to get some political prisoners out of Burma and met with success. In addition. with several other Members we participated in an amendment that gave financial assistance to some of the Burmese refugees that are currently on the Thai border. This is the second trip that I have undertaken to Burma. I first made the request in August 1993 in Rangoon to see Aung San Suu Kyi.
