Dear Editor-in-Chief Tomlinson:
It has come to my attention that Reader's Digest is going to
carry an article on Chinese spies in its December issue.
While believing a reputable magazine such as Reader's Digest
will conduct its investigation professionally, I can't but
expressing my grave concern over the possible adverse impact
of such kind of story upon lives of tens of thousands of
Chinese and Asian Americans, legal immigrants and visitors.
Recently we just ended a dispute with CBS, concerning a
similar incident (please refer to the attached article from
New York Times and the letter from US Civil Rights
Commission). We hope at very least the article should make
it clear that the vast majority of the Chinese Americans,
legal residents and temporary visitors are innocent and law-
abiding. If we feel that the article fails to convey that
message, we reserve the right to take further actions.
The Civil Rights Committee of Independent Federation of
Chinese Students and Scholars (IFCSS) and CBS Incident
Committee have done extended research on the Chinese spy
issue. We welcome the opportunity to work with you and set
the record straight.
Sincerely,
Lin Huang
Enclosure:
