Letter from Condoleezza Rice to Rep. FrankWASHINGTON June 23, 2003 Dear Representative Frank: On Behalf of President Bush, thank you for your letter describing increasing bipartisan concern about the detention of Dr. Yang Jianli. The President shares your concerns. It is unacceptable for Chinese authorities to hold Dr. Yang, a U.S. legal resident, without access to an attorney or his family. The Bush Administration has repeatedly raised Dr. Yang's case at senior levels with the Chinese Government and will continue to do so until he is reunited in the United States with his family. President Bush applauds your continuing efforts to highlight Dr. Yang's case and press for his early release. Sincerely, Condoleezza Rice Assistance to the President for National Security Affairs -------------------------- |
