SAN FRANCISCO LABOR LEADERS CARRY SPIRIT OF AMERICAN LABOR MOVEMENT TO 
                                 CHINA

                                 ______


                            HON. TOM LANTOS

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 18, 1995
  Mr. LANTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to call to the attention of my 
colleagues an upcoming visit of considerable importance by Ms. Josie 
Mooney, president of the San Francisco Labor Council. She will embark 
on a good will journey to meet with labor leaders in China.
  Mr. Speaker, Josie Mooney and the San Francisco Labor Council 
represent the best of the American labor movement--free-working men and 
women, who are organized to seek better wages, improved working 
conditions, and a better standard of living for working men and women 
in our area and around our Nation.
  As the official representative of the San Francisco Labor Council, 
Josie Mooney will meet with leaders of the Shanghai Municipal Trade 
Union Council and other labor leaders. I wish her great success in 
those meetings as she works to build bonds of brotherhood between the 
working men and women of the United States and China.
  It is my sincere desire that the spirit and example of the San 
Francisco Labor Council and of the United States union movement will 
inspire labor leaders in China to emulate the high standards set by 
American unions and their outstanding leaders.
