D.C. metropolitan area. Mr. Lee immigrated to the United States from the Guangdong Province of the Republic E409 of China in 1936. He saw the toll that World War II took on Chinese citizens in the United States who were prevented from being reunited with their families due to U.S. immigration laws and immigrant quota restrictions. As a founding member of the National Chinese Welfare Council in 1957. he campaigned vigorously for the lifting of limitations on immigration quotas. As a result. 40.000 Chinese immigrants were allowed to enter the U.S. every year. Mr. Lee has also worked tirelessly to enhance and strengthen the important relationship between the United States and the Republic of China (Taiwan).
