The rest of the CND special deleted for brevity.

Some relevant news on this subject which were not
included in this report; Here are the news items dispatched by
Reuters and UPI from Beijing on March 4th 1993.

One of the news item is about a gigantic billboard which was
specifically designed to promote Beijing's bid for Olympic Games 2000,
and to welcome the IOC's inspection team on March the 6th
1993, yet some very brave people in Beijing who were bold
enough and risked a great deal to have successfully defaced
this billboard, just 2 days before the arrival of the IOC's
inspection team.

Such a strong message of defiance from the people of Beijing,
should not be ignored by the international community!

If Beijing can host the Olympic 2000 without the CG to
openly redress the June 4th massacre, the venerable
voting members of the IOC committee will be sending a
dangerous signal to the future generations on this planet;

For all those kids in Beijing who had loved ones killed or hurt
during the TAM massacre, and for all the kids on earth
who had witnessed the TAM massacre on the TV screens,
who were old enough to understand what had happened and
remembered the name of Beijing;
Some very dangerous signals will be send to them:

It is OK to kill innocent, peaceful and patriotic student
demonstrators, as long as the killers know how to please
those who have powers and influences!

It is OK for a brutal totalitarian region to kill their own youth
for maintaining a dictatorial power, as long as the killers have
the means to cover the blood by lavishing crowd pleasing spectacles
and generous gifts and favours!

It is OK for the criminal to play the rule of a charming host,
as long as there is enough monetary profits to be shared by the
privileged few!

It is OK to kill the voice of dissent and then get away with it, as
long as the killers have the means to manufacture new smiling masks!

What kind of signal do we want to send to our future generations?

The voting members of the IOC do have a serious moral responsibility
on their hands.

                申办奥运看板������遭油漆破坏

         国际奥委会视察前夕����警方火速赶抵遮掩

	【路透社北京三月四日电】

  中共为了争取主办西元2000年的奥运会，最近在此间制作了一块巨大
的看板，但是就在国际奥委会的一百名视察团员前来视察的前夕，这幅看板
却遭人用油漆破坏，警察获悉後，火速赶至现场，将看板遮掩起来。

  这幅看板画的是敝开着的中国传统式大门，里面却是现代化的城市。
看板就位於後天从机场接载视察员的车队所必须经过的道路边。视察员
此次前来北京，预定将视察三天。

   警察和工人虽然忙着遮掩被破坏的看板，但是由红、蓝、黑三色油漆
所留下的长条污痕却清晰可辨。

   一名住在附近的工人说：「一定有人反对北京主辨奥运会。」

   当警察用防水布遮盖看板之际，旁边有许多人在围观。用来盛装油漆破坏
看板的桶子就丢在看板下方的路上。

   这项事件是第一件足以证明并非每个人都热中让中国大陆举办奥运会的
证据。

   在整个北京，处处可以看到迎风飘扬的红色布幅写满标语，内容不外乎保
证让中国大陆更为开放，以迎接奥运会。为了迎接奥运会，北京的道路拓宽
计划正积极在进行。当局更是督促居民，在视察员前来视察期间，务必穿着
整洁，注意礼节。

   新闻遭到严厉管制，所谓的言论自由几成画饼。和其它争取主办权的城市
不同的是，在北京任何人胆敢表示反对举办2000年的奥运会，随时都
可能招来牢狱之灾。

		北京因应国际奥会检查

			关掉部分暖气减少污染

	【合众国际社北京三月四日电】

  北京当局今天把市内部分家庭的暖气关掉，以求在国际奥林匹克委员会
人员审查北京申请主办西元2000年奥运资格前，粉饰一下。

  虽然官方否认，但至少三个区的居民抱怨，由於市府为减少空气被污染的
程度，而使他们在料峭的春寒中被关掉暖气。北京市府这些可做而不可说的
措施，是为配合国际奥会人员於六日抵此做三天审查所进行的全市美化
活动的一部份。

  中共领导班子认为此事事关民族荣举，因此在北京加强公安巡逻、
张灯结彩，并实施交通管制。一些住在将被国际奥会检查的大型运动场
附近的居民说��，上面通知他们暖气将自六日起被切断三天。

  北京争取主办奥运委员会文宣官员在电话中否认切断暖气的「谣言」，
并说市府规定每年三月十五日关掉暖气。不过据「北京晚报」昨天报导，
兼任委员会委员的北京副市长张百发对有人未经授权迳行关掉暖气
「大发雷霆」，并下令恢复。
