Dear Netters:

1) Second Round petition wave is almost done. The cut-off date is from 8/26-8/31,
and there are 510 signatures in total.

2) A Chinese version of petition letter asking signatures from general Chinese
population is been drafted and circulating among committee members. We expect it
to be done in this week. This letter will be sent to Chinese media.

3) According to World Journal report on Saturday 9/11/93, New York Edition, the 
Chinese restaurants are experiencing unexpected labor shortages in New York 
Metropolitan area. The area, which has the highest concentration of undocumented 
Chinese nationals in the U.S., once was filled with job seekers, and the wages 
were driven down to the bones. Now, since many undocumented Chinese nationals, 
most of them are now chefs, have obtained Advance Paroles. They left for China 
in order to re-enter US to be eligible for CSPA applications. The crack on people
smuggling also causes the labor shortage of less skilled new-comers. Since many 
cashiers are Chinese students and now return to the schools, this also contributes
to the shortage.
