Subject: wagner student in 12/1/95

Dear Mr. Bernie Krisher

Greetings. My name is Youn Jae Kim. I'm a graduate student at Wagner School of Public Policy and Management at NYU. I'm working with Rev. Paul Kim, Executive Director of Korea Church Coalition for peace, justice, and reunification of Korea (KCC).

First of all, as a person who's born and grew up in Korea and educated in the U.S., I would like to send my deepest appreciation for your effort to help North Korean Flood Victims through the Internet Appeal which I got a lot of useful information.

KCC has organized a committee for the issue and appealed to Korean chruch community in the state. However, as you already know, since the U.S. does not have a diplomatic relation with DPRK, it's very complex and difficult to send cash donation to DPRK. Therefore, KCC is asking the following:

1. If KCC sends money to UN WFP, is KCC able to purchase rice over there? (You mentioned about that in your third report of Nov. 20)

2. If KCC sends collected goods to you or Nigata, can you help to send to Wonsan in NK?

3. If KCC wants to buy powdered milk in Japan, how much it costs?

4. Based on you sixth report of Nov. 23, you took videotapes. Can you send any outcome of tapes to KCC through express mail? We want to show Korean churches in the state.

We wish to finish first collection by end of December and send all goods and money by Jan. 96. Of course, a group of chrch representatives will visit to DPRK by the time these are arrived. Please, send me your response as soon as possible. All KCC pasters are desperately waiting from you.

Thank you very much. Keep in touch.

Truly yours,
