- ***** EMERGENCY IMMEDIATE ACTION ALERT *****
-
- Senate to decide on military aid to Indonesia next week
-
- The Indonesian government, corporate lobbyists, and the Bush
- administration are lobbying Congress heavily to get $2.3 million in IMET
- military training restored to the Foreign Aid appropriations bill.
- Although this money was unanimously deleted by the House of Represen-
- tatives in protest of Indonesia's massacres in East Timor, there is a
- danger that the Senate may restore it. Letters and calls are needed
- immediately to:
-
- Senator Patrick J. Leahy (Democrat, Vermont)
- SR-433 Russell Senate Office Building, Washington, DC 20510
- 202-224-7209
-
-
- Senator Robert Byrd (Democrat, West Virginia)
- SH-311 Hart Senate Office Building, Washington, DC 20510
- 202-224-7200
-
-
- Senator Tom Harkin (Democrat, Iowa)
- SH-531 Hart Senate Office Building, Washington, DC 20510
- 202-225-3254
-
- Please communicate anything you learn to the East Timor Action Network.
- Thank you. This is the most crucial test and the most important
- opportunity we have had so far.
