I had never met Bill Lann Lee until about a month ago when he came by my office. He made a very positive impression in the short time we had to speak to one another. Then I read his background and sat through his confirmation hearing. and I want to say that I hope Mr. Lee will get the chance he deserves. Bill Lann Lee is the son of Chinese immigrants who came to this country to New York virtually penniless. His mother and father started a hand laundry. He and his brother. who is now a Baptist minister. worked in that laundry with their parents.
