                        Thursday, August 2, 2001

  Mr. BURTON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this 
opportunity to congratulate Dr. Gurmit Singh Aulakh and the Council of 
Khalistan, who have completed 15 years of service to the Sikh community 
in this country and the people of the Sikh homeland, Khalistan.
  For the past 15 years, Dr. Aulakh has been diligently walking the 
halls of the U.S. Congress to tell us about the latest developments in 
India and the massive violations of human rights that have been 
perpetrated against Sikhs, Christian, Muslims, and other minorities. We 
appreciate the work he has done and the information he has provided.
  Dr. Aulakh's efforts have made a valuable contribution to the 
consideration of our policy towards India and South Asia. I appreciate 
his efforts, and I congratulate him on 15 years of tireless efforts on 
behalf of the oppressed.
