Dear David Arnott
 
Thankyou for your kindly help. I got this news with Japanese language and translate with the software and final touch by myself. That may be some mistake.

Dear Tin Kyi,

There are some serious problems with the English in this article -- for instance, the title means that someone ordered Than Shwe to close the USDA offices, which hardly makes sense, and the 2nd para is very difficult to understand. Here is a corrected version, so far as I can understand the meaning -- you will have to check it to make sure I have not made any mistakes.:


Than Shwe orders the closure of all USDA offices in the country.

Yangon June 29-(Jiji) - It has been learned that the Myanmar military regime's subsidiary administration, the Union Solidarity and Development Association (USDA) has received a top secret notification from the authorities to close all branch offices throughout  the whole country, and to stop all activity by the 29th of June.

The  USDA was founded by the Burmese military in September 1993. The central and district executive positions are held by military officers. The Organization's role is to confine the political activity of the NLD in cooperation with the Burmese military. According to well-informed sources in Yangon, the  notification was issued personally by Senior General Than Shwe, the Chair of the SPDC, who also holds the position of President of the USDA.
