>>Hi Bernie.
>>
>>I saw an article in the Korean papers, mentioning that you were back
>>in Korea for another speech; they carried several of the pictures you
>>must have provided. It was a fairly sympathetic piece.
>>
>>We are trying to mobilize the Korean-American community as much as we
>>can. The National Council of Churches (NCCC-USA) has increased their
>>campaign to $500,000 from $100,000. They have sent initial materials
>>in terms of rice and medicine.
>>
>>Please let me know when exactly you will be entering Japan again. I
>>have someone in our organization who may have an opportunity to enter
>>DPRK in early February.
>>
>>Hope you are in good health.
