I have received your letter regarding Charles Li who has been detained by the Chinese Government. I will be signing on to a letter of protest addressed to the Chinese Ambassador. This letter will be circulated for signature this week.

I am always concerned about the treatment of US Citizens abroad and denounce the persecution of individuals for their religious beliefs. Thank you for contacting my office regarding Mr. Li I will remain in contact with Congresswoman Anne Eschoo who is Mr. Li’s congressional representative.

Sincerely,
[signature]
Mike Honda

Member of Congress
