RE: Statement on Lou Li-Shi's story of IFCSS Financial Cases

	On the night of July 18, 1994, 5 days before the openning of 
the 6th IFCSS National Congress, Mr Li-Shi Luo, Coordinator of the IFCSS 
Supervisory Committee, released a so-called Supervisory Committee's 
Statement on Appeals Relating to the IFCSS Financial Inspection. In 
his lengthy yet pointless statement, Mr. Lou plays a role of a 
prosecutor as well as a judge, makes blants accusitions against the IFCSS 
Council, Council Finance Committee and the work of the Financial 
Inspection Team (IT) and its members, distores the facts, complicates the 
gradually-improving situation of the IFCSS finance, provides the public 
with misinformation about the IFCSS financial issues. This Committee 
feels it imperative to issue this statement to keep the constituents of 
the IFCSS informed and to safeguard the interest of the IFCSS.

	The date of issue of the statement by Lou Li-Shi on IFCSS Financial 
Case in the name of the Supervisory Committe indicates that this action 
is premediated and full of unknown intentions. Nearly half year has passed 
since the IFCSS Working Conference in Wanshington, DC early this year, 
the SVC coordinated by Mr. Lou SIMPLY has do nothing to carry on his 
so-called investigations, at far as least half of the Council Members 
have been concerned. While accusing others not to take responsibilites, 
Mr. Lou himself seems not do his job at same time, either. Mr. Lou owes 
the IFCSS and the public an explanation for such causes.

	In his statement, Mr. Lou has played a dual-role of prosecutor 
and judge, a very unprofessional move. While accusing others of not to be 
professional enough, Mr. Lou simply ignores the basics of laws. He has 
gathered "evidences", and then handed down "verdits" on his own. While 
questioning the qualification of Mr. Bai Yan, a volunteer of the IT, Mr. 
Lou himself, with an advanced degree in psychics, which has nothing to 
do with a legal degree, attempts to exercise laws. Despite that he, as a SVC 
member, has been repeatedly advised by US lawers of not play a role of a 
judge given the Maryland Corporation Law, under which the IFCSS is 
registered as a non-profit orgization, Mr. Lou still dare not care the 
consequenses of unauthorized practicing of laws.

	In spite of undeniable fact that IT has found during its imcompleted 
inspection such as: the filing of IFCSS tax returns was over due, the 
slopiness of the HQ Treasurer, personal imcome tax invasion by the IFCSS 
HQ officers in the past years, and using public funds for personal use, to 
name just a few. And despite of the undisputable fact that, after the 
financial inspection and the hiring a professional accountant, the IFCSS 
has been fined by the Internal Revenue Service for failure to file a tax 
return in time, the IFCSS HQ officers of both former and current have 
paid or have to pay the personal imcome tax, and the accuracy down to 
cents in the report of the balance of the IFCSS accounts by the IFCSS 
President Mr. Lin Changsheng to the Council recently, Mr. Lou still tries 
to deny the work of the IT and the results of such an inspection. In 
stead of recognizing the positive results of the paintaking effort by the 
IT and Council, Mr. Lou has made widespread groundless allegations 
against all the IT members, all active Council members involved in the 
process, and those volunteers, under the current IFCSS Consititution, 
By-laws, and Regulations. To Mr. Lou, it seems wrong to implement the 
Council resolution and breaking "rules" to tackle the financial problem 
which had accumalated for years, while paying lip services is in a 
position of judging those who work hard. What a mentality! What a 
logic!

	While accusing other of breaking rules, lying and concealing facts,
Mr. Lou forgets mentioning a couple of facts involved. First is that, during 
the 2nd Council Teleconference in late Novermber last year, Mr. Lou, an 
observer, should not speak until asked to do so, jumped into the meeting 
and made uninvited and illegimate questioning of a participant. His words 
and action threw the whole meeting into chaos, interruptin the mormal 
proceeding of the meeeting, and made it all most impossible to continue 
the conference. Mr. Lou's exellent demonstration of how he violated a set 
of the well-written Council Teleconference rules has been well documented 
in the recording of the meeting ( A copy of the audio tape is available 
from the Council Secretary Mr. Chen Dong for a nominal charge). 
Second is the fact that his false statement on contact by his and other 
SVC members with the Council Members. He claimed the contact was made 
"via telephone, e-mail and personal contact". For one example, however, 
during the Washington Working Conference in Febuary, Mr. Lou could spare 
himself to invite one of IT members, who was a roommte of Mr. Zhou 
Hongguang, the Coordinator of the IT, to drink and chat rather than 
finding a time and bothering to talk to Mr. Zhou. This false statement on 
this matter by Mr. Lou alone has already constituted 
what he calls a perjury.

	Praising the dedicated IFCSS officers and selfless volunteers who 
should been credited for the achivements for IFCSS, Mr. Lou has lauched 
vicious attact on the IFCSS Council members, IT members, and especially 
unbrearable, on Mr. Bai Yan, a volunteer from Texas Tech University, who 
is to receive his PhD in Public Administration soon without any 
sustantial reason. His conflict and war with Ms. Shen Tong, the former 
Chair of the Finance Committee is a public secret. Any personal 
affection and hatred should not involved in work under any working 
ethics. However, Mr. Lou has turned his personal likes and dislikes
against any people who and anything that may happened to have connection 
with Ms. Shen. By denouncing Mr. Bai, a true hero and dedicated volunteer 
for IFCSS financial situation among the average CSS, how could Mr. Lou 
make IFCSS be supportted by CSS? How could he prove himself to be such 
nutual as a judge given he cannot seperate personal emotions and public 
services?

	It is a simple rationale. Pointing out a problem is not damaging 
but the problem itself is damgeing. People should not be blamed for 
unveil a problem. But the people who created the problem should be blamed 
for. It is unfortunate that Mr. lou has failed to recognize the 
importance and impact of IT' work, the standards set by the IT which has 
changed the IFCSS financial management for good. That is, if any HQ 
officers dare to challenge the laws by returning to the previous 
financial practice, he or she will subject to prosecutin of law of the 
land. This is not only the achievement of IT, but one of the major 
achievement of the 5th IFCSS Council. It is also a triumph for IFCSS and 
its constituents for years over financial management.
		
	Because of above sated reasons, the integerity, judgment and 
qualification of Mr. Lou as a SVC member have to be called in questioning. 
His statement regarding the IFCSS financial cases is invalid as his 
inconsistant behavoir. This Committee therefore recommemds the coming 
IFCSS Congress look into his case to maintain the seriousness of the 
IFCSS Consitituition, By-laws, regulations, and above all, the Maryland 
Corporation Law.
