President. I rise to express my outrage at threats toward Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi made Tuesday in the governmentcontrolled press in Rangoon. Completely without justification the press called for Aung San Suu Kyi to be deported from Burma. The regime has again made the ridiculous charge that Aung San Suu Kyi is not entitled to Burmese citizenship. This charge is made on the xenophobic and insulting basis that she married a foreigner. The regime has long tried to discredit Aung San Suu Kyi with the Burmese people with this type of nonsenseit hasnt worked. The Burmese people voted for Aung San Suu Kyis party overwhelmingly in 1990electing opposition candidates to 80 percent of the parliament seats.
