	Australian Senator to push for Burmese Broadcast on Radio Aus
	*************************************************************

Senator Vicki Bourne told SBS Radio that she will push for a Burmese language 
program on RADIO AUSTRALIA. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, in her address read out by 
her husband Dr Michael Aris at the University of Technology said that she hope 
Australia would  recognise the need for disseminating information in the 
Burmese language. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was awarded an honorary degree of 
Doctor of Letters by the University of Technology, Sydney  on 21 February 1997.
Senator Vicki Bourne told SBS RADIO, in an interview, that she would take 
that to mean she thinks RADIO AUSTRALIA should keep going - "so that she'll 
have a Burmese language program".
