		   No. 6007, August 23, 1994 

&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&

   We are very much shocked by the recent news about Mr. Fang Zheng,
a handicapped athlete who lost his legs in June 4, 1989, being 
rejected from participating in Far East and South Pacific Disabled 
Games by the Chinese authorities due to political reasons. With the 
utmost concern to Mr. Fang Zheng's well-beings and rights, the IFCSS 
HQ has been contacting appropriate persons back in China to confirm 
the news and drafting letters to Mr. Deng Pufang and Mr. Yuan Weiming 
seeking for a fair and an appropriate solution. (The letters have 
been sent out on August 23 by Mr. Chengyan Liu through express mail.)

   Dr. Luo Ning has discussed with Mr. Zhang Yalai, chair of IFCSS
Humanitarian Working Committee, about how to help Mr. Fang Zheng in 
all possible means. Some concrete actions will be taken accordingly 
in the near future. 

   Suggestions and assistants from all walks of life are welcomed.
