                    in the house of representatives

                       Saturday, January 6, 2001

  Mr. GUTIERREZ. Mr. Speaker, I wish today to give my full support once 
again to the work of Chicago civil and human rights leader Reverend 
Ronald I. Schupp, who is embarking on his fifth annual peaceful twenty-
four hour fast and vigil outside of the Chinese Consulate in Chicago. 
Reverend Schupp is calling upon the government of the People's Republic 
of China to grant independence to Tibet and its people.
  His vigil will be held on March 10, the day that is known each year 
as Tibetan National Day. This day recognizes the ongoing efforts and 
continuing struggle of the Tibetan people to gain their freedom.
  I fully support Reverend Schupp and the vigil he is undertaking once 
again.
