- I support: 1.) Providing funds to nongovernmental organizations for projects supporting Tibetan communities in Tibet in areas such as sustainable economic development, cultural preservation and education. 2.) Prohibiting the authorization of any new Chinese consulates in the United States until a U.S. consulate has been established in Lhasa, Tibet. 3.) Reauthorizing the Office of the U.S. Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues and expands the office's duties to include additional tasks, such as pursuing international coalitions to ensure that the next Dalai Lama is appointed solely by the Tibetan Buddhist faith community. 4.) Requiring the State Department to discuss U.S. efforts to promote the human rights of the Tibetan people, including the right to select and venerate their own religious leaders, in an existing periodic report on Tibet. And wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Rep. James McGovern (MA) and/or to an advocate group currently working with this issue.
