SUBJECT: LETTER FROM NLD TO GAMBARI 
 
REF: RANGOON 1528 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary: The Chairman and Secretary of the National 
League of Democracy (NLD) asked the Embassy to pass copies to 
Secretary Rice and Ambassador Bolton of a letter they sent to 
 
SIPDIS 
Ibrahim Gambari, Under Secretary General at the United 
Nations.  We have abridged the text to focus on the specific 
NLD requests, but complete copies are now circulating on the 
internet.  The NLD requests the release of NLD leaders Aung 
San Suu Kyi (ASSK) and Tin Oo; reopening of NLD offices; and 
the initiation of a political dialogue that includes ASSK. 
In addition, the NLD requests Gambari meet with a broad 
spectrum of pro-democracy supporters when he next visits 
Burma, and that he arrange for the senior leaders to meet 
together with ASSK and Tin Oo in advance of Gambari's visit. 
End Summary. 
 
2.  (U) Begin abridged text: 
 
Excellency, 
 
We understand that Your Excellency will be visiting this 
country for a second time.  Before your visit, we, on behalf 
of the Central Executive Committee (CEC) and of Nation League 
for Democracy (NLD), would like to appraise the situation in 
this country as extensive as possible for Your Excellency's 
information.  Therefore please except our apologies for this 
relatively long letter since we could not have discussed 
thoroughly the issues during our meeting in May 2006. 
 
The NLD is of the opinion that the current problems of 
political, economic and social nature (especially of health 
in respect of diseases such as malaria, TB and HIV/AIDS) are 
the consequences of the refusal by the State Peace and 
Development Council (SLORC) (presently the State Peace and 
Development Council - SPDC) to recognize the outcome of the 
free and fair Multi Party Democracy General Election held in 
1990 according to the "Pyithu Hluttaw Election Law" enacted 
by themselves (the SLORC) in 1989.  The results of the 
Election portrayed that almost the entire people yearned for 
democracy and human rights in Burma.  In fact this definitely 
the sincere desire of the mass. 
 
We would suggest that, when the time comes for negotiation 
for national reconciliation and for democratic 
transformation, decision makers from both sides should 
participate in the process without fail.  The request is made 
from the 18 year's experience of the NLD.  Daw Aung San Suu 
Kyi who has been striving for the national reconciliation and 
dialogue from the beginning, who gets the overwhelming 
mandate of the people for the democratic transformation in 
Burma, who can make changes through political compromises and 
who has achieved the confidence of the ethnic nationalities, 
should participate in all the political processes. 
 
We would also suggest that the UN Security Council try the 
utmost for the realization of a substantial political 
dialogue and also for adoption of a binding resolution.  On 
September 26, 2006, at the present 61st Session of the United 
Nations General Assembly, U Nyan Win, Minister for Foreign 
Affairs of Burma stated in his address on policy that Myanmar 
will step up its efforts in close cooperation with friendly 
countries and international organizations and that 
cooperation to the United Nations is a corner stone of 
Myanmar's Foreign Policy and track record that had proven 
that Myanmar has invariably extended its cooperation to the 
United Nations.  The first urgently needed step for the 
establishment of democracy and national reconciliation is the 
political dialogue. 
 
Recent actions of the authorities which include closing and 
sealing of the offices of various levels of organizational 
committees of the NLD, forced the League members by various 
means of pressure to resign leading to the obliteration or 
inactivity of the organizational committees show that they 
are not leading towards democracy. 
 
Moreover, for a fair political environment and national 
reconciliation, we would like to request for the immediate 
and unconditional release of U Tin Oo, Vice Chairman, Daw 
Aung San Suu Kyi, General Secretary of the NLD and all other 
political prisoners and also for the reopening offices of the 
organizational committees of various levels and rights to 
organize freely according to the law. 
 
Hence we would like to suggest, for the cause of democracy 
and human rights in Burma, that during the trip to Burma, 
Your Excellency should meet, besides with the authorities and 
 
RANGOON 00001559  002 OF 002 
 
 
NLD, other ethnic nationalities parties including the 
deregistered parties which won the elections in 1990, the 
veteran politicians, 88 generation student leaders to gain 
more extensive opinion regarding the political situation as 
well as the general crisis of the country. 
 
We also would like to request Your Excellency's help in 
getting permission for the full CEC meeting of the NLD 
including U Tin Oo and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi for preparation 
before meeting with Your Excellency.  We also suggest that 
Your Excellency should meet with the full 9 member CEC of the 
NLD at the same time. 
 
Summing up the above: 
 
-     To hold substantial political dialogue making mutual 
compromises for the transformation to democracy and national 
reconciliation in Burma. 
-     To call up the People's Parliament to transform the 
State Peace and Development Council into a legitimate "de 
jure" council. 
-     The 104 principles laid down by the National Convention 
shall be points to be considered and not binding principles. 
-     Since Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is the leader of the 
democratic cause in Burma, she should participate in all the 
political processes. 
-     The UN Security Council shall try to get a binding 
resolution.  NLD does not ever think to propose any kind of 
sanction. 
-     The offices of the state/divisional and township 
organizational committees shall be reopened and be permitted 
to function freely in accordance with the laws. 
-     Immediately and unconditionally release U Tin Oo, Vice 
Chairman, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, General Secretary of the NLD 
and all other political prisoners. 
-     Meet and discuss with representatives from political 
parties which won in the 1990 Election, veteran politicians 
and 88 generation student leaders. 
 
Yours truly, 
U Aung Shwe, Chairman-NLD 
U Lwin, Secretary - NLD
