Statement 22(8/98)


1. A letter from the Deputy Minister of Home Affairs addressed to the 
Chairman of the National League for  Democracy was received today which 
purported to be an "invitation" to meet him on the 8th August, 1998.

2.  The League's views on this matter are as hereunder:-
       (a) The chairman should be properly informed about the subject 
matter and the reason for such             invitation. An "invitation" 
to meet is insufficient.

       (b) The League being a political party needs to be fully briefed 
on the subject matter in order that they             can be prepared and 
effectively proceed further on any subject of discussion.

3. Further, the information given to the Chairman by Major Thura, who 
delivered the letter was that he could be accompanied by any member  of 
the Central Executive Committee of the League excluding U Tin OO, U Kyi 
Maung and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. This is totally unacceptable to the 
League. In response, the bearer of the letter was referred to the 
Multi-Party's Election Commission Notification 245. This statement is 
published for their information.
