NATIONAL CONVENTION

Convention to Reconvene Nov. 28

Oct. 4: National Convention Convening Commission Announcement No. 7/95 of October 4, 1995, reads as follows [full text]:

1. The National Convention Convening Commission designated 24 October (Tuesday) 1995 as the date to reconvene the National Convention. Accordingly, the National Convention Convening Commission, the National Convention Convening Work Committee, the National Convention Convening Management Committee and various sub-committees have been making necessary preparations and carrying out programmes to ensure smoothness in all aspects at the National Convention to be reconvened.

2. However, many of the of the delegates of the respective delegate groups are inclined to attend to their business undertakings especially agricultural matters as well as charities at a time when the rainy season is withdrawing, so they have expressed their wish that the National Convention be reconvened after the Tazaungdine Festival, instead of reconvening it after the Thadingyut Festival.

3. Taking into serious consideration of the wishes of many of the National Convention delegates thus informed, the National Convention Convening Commission hereby designates 7th Waxing of Nadaw, 1357 ME (28 November, 1995) as the date for reconvening of the National Convention to enable all the delegates to attend it.
