Dear editor:
   Please post the following message to the lads netters regarding
LAD situation in Kentucky.
    Thank you for your assistance.
****************************************************************

Hi LAD netters

  As we know, so far (on August 14) the local INS office in Louisville,
Kentucky has not accepted any application from LADs because nobody
seemingly has made his/her Birth and Marriage Certificates verified
by American Embassy or Consulates in P. R. China. As a matter of fact,
the USA Embassy in Beijing has refused, in an official note with seal, to
provide such a service.   Besides, in past a few days individuals
frequently visited the local INS at Louisville so that it seemed to
lead to a harassing environment there.   Continuation of this kind of
situation will not be helpful on this matter or even put our LADs
in Kentucky in a worse status.

     To push this matter towards a better situation, we, a group of
students in  the University of Kentucky, would like to suggest that
all the LADs in the Kentucky area share the information.    More
importantly, we think that an organized group appears to be
necessary for further efforts on this matter.

     The following is our opinions and suggestions.

1.   The situation occurring in the other states of the U.S.A. could
not be used to argue with the officials in the local INS at least since
the CSPA claims that the local INS is fully in charge of the execution
for the business of LADs.

2.   A unified voice might be better and more effective than any
disordered individual action.  Therefore, we would like to suggest that
let our potential representatives negotiate with the local INS in
Louisville and try to reach a reasonable deal.

3.   In a few days, the representatives will issue the information
about the development of this affair to us through either LADnet or
potential  coordinators of each department or college.

     If you agree with our opinions and suggestions, please send your name,
address, and phone numbers to [email-masked]. We will try to
contact with you.
