#1 More festivities planned for early/mid June;
4 June - Tiananmen Memorial
9 June - Anniversary of first million person march
12 June - Anniversary of Legislative Council protest
16 June - Anniversary of second million person march

Conventional wisdom on the ground here is that things will heat up again. Standby for heavy rolls.

#2 In Washington and within the IC, these dates are likely little more interesting coincidences:

4 June - Tiananmen Memorial
9 June - Anniversary of first million person march
12 June - Anniversary of Legislative Council protest
16 June - Anniversary of second million person march

Keep your head down Billy.

#3 Will do Mr. B. The end of my tour draws nigh. I could see this place going pear-shaped especially if the ChiComms interfere (they will) with the election in September.

Had lunch today w/a VN vet Jarhead buddy of mine. He's been here for 30 years and said dream another dream - this dream is over. Good WSJ article on this today.

#4 Good luck with your next posting. If someone suggests retirement, shoot them. Keep your PR's current and your options open. God Bless you for the work you do fella.
