I thank the chairman for allowing me to speak today on this issue of the Vietnam Human Rights Act of 2007. As you know. I represent the largest Vietnamese community outside of Vietnam in the world. and so Ive had the chance to visit Vietnam now three times. Actually. I just finished visiting in April of this year. Before that. I had been denied a visa to visit Vietnam for three times in the past 22 years. Now. I rise today in support of my colleagues House Resolution 3096. because this is a very critical time in our relationship with Vietnam.
