Dear Friend of Tibet: We need your immediate help to defeat "Permanent Normal Trade Relations" (PNTR) for China! PNTR would end the annual human rights debate on China in our Congress, which is where we have been able to spotlight China's abuses in Tibet and urge for improvements. The House of Representatives wants to vote on PNTR for China the week of May 22nd-- **less than two weeks away!**. Corporate lobbyists, in step with the Clinton administration, are intensifying their campaign in support of PNTR in hopes of furthering their business interests in China. We are making an urgent action request to all ICT supporters to contact your Representatives NOW!

Your Representative may not know the following: -- The annual debate in the Congress on Normal Trade Relations (NTR) is the most important economic leverage the Congress can choose to exert against China on many issues, including Tibet. -- Permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) are not required for the U.S. to benefit from China's accession into the World Trade Organization. The U.S. can maintain the status quo of annual NTR extensions for China - as long as the status does not lapse. Constituent calls on PNTR will be tallied up and handed to your Representatives as he or she leaves for the House chamber to vote the week of May 22! A one-minute call, short letter or an e-mail from you can make an important difference. Find your U.S. Representative at <http://www.savetibet.org/cgi-bin/congress.pl?cf=tibet/cong.cf> You can also find current phone and address contact information, in your local telephone directory under the government section (blue pages) or call the Congressional hotline at 202 - 224 - 3121.
