Lin Huang and Haipei Xue were named as national co-chairs. They will monitor the progress on Capitol Hill, contact other ethnic groups and work closely with following regional coordinators Hongjian Yu, Southern California, ibxhhjy@mvs.oac.ucla.edu Jie Zhang, UCSD, jie@pgga.UCSD.EDU John Zhang, Stanford, sjzhang@leland.Stanford.EDU John Lin, Chicago, U32898@UICVM.BitNet Bing Qi, Chicago, MBQI@GSBVAX.UCHICAGO.EDU Ou Wang, Mid-Atlantic, ouwang@chem.duke.edu Tao He, D.C. and Maryland, th1111@american.edu Dianjun Ma, Florida, dianma@garnet.acns.fsu.edu Shuping Lu, New York, lushu@acf2.NYU.EDU Yang Wang, Southern East, wang@math.gatech.edu Sen Hu, Eastern, shu@math.princeton.edu The Committee also include Ho Herb, legel assistant, and Chengyan Liu, liason person, Miao Ye, news release.

A Sample Letter to Senate and Congress ............................... 43 ============================================================================ By Wen Quxin (Editor's Note: You can sign the following sample letter, e-mail or fax it to a Senator or a Congressperson to express your concerns over H.R. 1915.) The Honourable Congressman (or Congresswoman) XXX (Address, e.g. 2331 Rayburn, see below) Washington, DC 20515 Dear Congressman XXX: We are writing you to express our grave concern over the House bill H.R. 1915. We understand that this bill, if enacted, will effect a number of radical changes to this country's immigration policy, including a drastic cut on the number of aliens of extraordinary ability, such as outstanding scientists, experienced professionals and skilled workers, to be granted permanent residency. While immigration does pose some real challenges that must be addressed, we believe that the changes proposed in H. R. 1915 work against the fundamental interests of this country, whose current status as the world's only superpower is integrally associated with the work of the immigrants. We must not forget that it is with the minds of the world's best and brightest that this country has become the richest and most powerful in the world. From Albert Einstein to the engineers in Silicon Valley to the Asian investors, immigrants have combined their knowledge and experience with those of Native-born Americans to build this country into a diverse and yet harmonious society, one that serves as a shining example of compassion and prosperity for other countries. It is hard to imagine what kind of USA we would have today, or indeed whether there would have been a USA at all, without the immigrants. Likewise, we cannot imagine how this country will benefit by cutting back on its intake of immigrants who can make the most contributions. By denying the American dream to those who can best fulful it, this bill goes a long way to endanger the American dream itself. In view of the tremendous negative impact such changes will have on this country and with the country's best long-term interests in mind, we urge you, in the strongest terms, to vote against this bill. Sincerely (Your signature) ============================================================================ 3.
