RECOMMENDATIONS for the Berkeley City Council regarding BURMA
For the Council of the City of Berkeley to commend the people of Burma (now also known as Myanmar) for forty-six years of struggle against a brutal dictatorship, and to honor the 20th Anniversary of the 1988 popular uprising in Burma by declaring August 8, 2008 as Burma Day.
For the Council of the City of Berkeley to direct the City Manager to fly the Burmese flag annually on August 8 until a genuine democratic government has been established in Burma. (This flag will be furnished by the Burmese American Democracy Alliance.) By these actions, the Council of the City of Berkeley will help promote the 8/8/88 commemorations held by the Burmese American Democratic Alliance, the Buddhist Peace Fellowship, and other allies.

For the Council of the City of Berkeley to direct the City Clerk to send this document to Representative Barbara Lee thanking her for urging the President not to attend the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games, and for co-sponsoring the Defend the Olympic Spirit Act which restricts funding to prevent any U.S official from attending the Olympic Opening Ceremonies in China - with clear exceptions for the security of any U.S. athlete or their associated support staff. Furthermore, the City of Berkeley urges her to do whatever she can to get aid delivered to Burma, with or without the junta's permission, using any means possible except military invasion or force.

For the Council of the City of Berkeley to direct the City Clerk to send this document to Senator Barbara Boxer thanking her for strongly supporting the Burmese people, including authoring the unanimously adopted Resolution encouraging the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to take action to ensure a peaceful transition to democracy in Burma, and requesting that she introduce a Senate version of the House's Defend the Olympic Spirit Act which would mention Burma as well as Tibet and Darfur. Furthermore, the City of Berkeley urges her to do whatever she can to get aid delivered to Burma, with or without the junta's permission, using any means possible except military invasion or force.


For the Council of the City of Berkeley to direct the City Clerk to send this document to Senator Dianne Feinstein thanking her for strongly supporting the Burmese people, including introducing the bill to award the Congressional Gold Medal to Aung San Suu Kyi, urging the Chinese government to increase pressure on the Burmese military junta, and supporting trade sanctions; and requesting that she introduce a Senate version of the House's Defend the Olympic Spirit Act which would mention Burma as well as Tibet and Darfur. Furthermore, the City of Berkeley urges her to do whatever she can to get aid delivered to Burma, with or without the junta's permission, using any means possible except military invasion or force.


For the Council of the City of Berkeley to direct the City Clerk to send this document to President George W. Bush urging him not to attend the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games in protest of China's refusal to meet its promises to the international community to cease human rights abuses in Burma, Tibet, Darfur and inside China, and also in protest if China continues rebuffing the May 7 United Nations Security Council proposal to deliver aid. The City of Berkeley requests that aid be provided with or without permission from Burma's military, and that China and Russia be persuaded to vote for that on the United Nations Security Council.


For the Council of the City of Berkeley to direct the City Clerk to send this document to the President of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee, Liu Qi.
