To EF Donors - Mission Accomplished

Dear

Remember the following email that you received from me on June 5th?

"Sometimes, we share with donors IMPORTANT news

that is NOT ready to go public yet. Here is an example - a pending un-constitutional legislation against many Chinese Americans has been adopted in the House version of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2019 (NDAA), which EF is trying to stop behind the scenes . .........."

After the first confidential email from me, I sent you a number of updates reporting : (1) the Senate version had dropped the un-constitutional Sec. 1283 in H.R. 5515 entirely, and (2) Both the Senate and the House versions had gone to the House-Senate Conference Comm. to work out the differences. Senator Tom Carper of Delaware, responding to my request, had asked two Democratic senators who are delegates to the Conference Committee to try to keep Sec. 1283 in H.R. 5515 out.

Good News! I just heard from Sen. Carper's office that Sec. 1283 in H.R. 5515 was indeed kept out of the final version of NDAA, 2019. Republican

Senators Cornyn and Cotton made an amendment entitled: " Initiative to support protection of national security academic re searchers from undue influence and other security threats." The amendment is inserted as Sec 1286. It took out the unconstitutional language in the old Sec 1283. In addition, it

asked the Defense Department to consult the academic community before enacting rules to disqualify "offenders" from DOD contracts. Click here to view the final version. For Sec 1286, go to pp 1116 to 1120.

Mission Accomplished! Together, we shall overcome.

Best regards,

S B Woo, President & a volunteer for the past 20 years,

PS: To remind you what the very threatening Sec. 1283 in H.R. 5515 was all about, I've included below excerpts of the first email you've received from me on June 5:

"NOW, the U.S. House has passed a legislation, that is UN-constitutional. It may haunt you personally, if you've been involved in China's "talent or expert recruitment program". You may no longer be able to receive "funds

for educational or academic training or research". If you are in academia, you are likely affected.

This may just be the beginning. More similar or worse laws may come.

Here Are the Details

Q: What has passed?

O n 5/24, H.R. 5515 (Nat'l Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Yr. 2019) passed, inlcuding Sec. 1283. Section 1283 states:

"that none of the funds received by such applicant shall be made

available to any individual who has participated in or is currently

participating in a foreign talent or expert recruitment program of a

country listed in subsection (d)."

Subsection (d) lists 4 countries: China, N. Korea, Russia and Iran.

Q: What is UN-constitutional?

The 5 words shown in red above are UN-constitutional. The US Constitution Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3 is: "No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed." That is, our constitution prohibits retroactive

legislation punishing individuals for events that were legal and occurred before the new judicial and/or legislative decision.

Q: What needs to be defined more specifically?

"T alent or expert recruitment program" ? Do those words include a visiting professorship in China? Do they include participating in such

programs in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau , since we recognize all 3 as parts of China?

What EF Has Already Done

EF president, S. B. Woo, immediately got in touch with the political leaders he knew. One high ranking senator has already asked his staff to look into it.

What You Can Do

Wait a week please, for EF to scope out the political landscape. After that there is much you can do, including contacting your Senators & Congressperson,.

What May We do TOGETHER!

UNITE! Then & only then will our voice be heard. Unite before it's too late. We are loyal Americans who strongly support our nation's defense needs. However, we MUST unflinchingly protect our civil rights. Remember "The Chinese Exclusion Act"? I'll keep you posted. "

Best regards,

S.B Woo"
