President Sends Birthday Wishes to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi of Burma
I send my best wishes to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi for her 60th
birthday, June 19. Her strength, courage, and personal sacrifice in
standing up for the oppressed people of Burma have inspired those who
stand for freedom. Only a return to democracy and reintegration with
the international community can bring the freedom and prosperity that
the people of Burma deserve. The United States looks forward to the
time when Burma is democratic and free.
