| President, Congress wish Aung San Suu Kyi happy 60th |
| 2005-06-18 |
| WASHINGTON -- A metal gate blocked the walkway to the Myanmar Embassy, so the congressman left his delivery _ a cardboard box crammed with birthday greetings for Myanmar political prisoner Aung San Suu Kyi _ on a pillar of the concrete fence. Nobody came out of the building. "I have dealt with dictatorial regimes all of my life," Rep. Tom Lantos, the only Holocaust survivor ever to serve in Congress, said Friday. "I don't expect any warm reception from them." |
