A meaningful step the Senate should take without delay is to confirm Bill Lee. a ChineseAmerican whose life story and lifes work are quintessentially American. At the same time we are urging the Chinese Government to improve their human rights record. we should demonstrate through action and not just words our own commitment to human rights and civil rights by proceeding without further delay on this important nomination. Mr. Lee was born in Harlem to Chinese immigrant parents. His parents ran a laundry in New York. He went on to graduate from Yale College magna cum laude and then Columbia Law School.
