To: Falun Dafa Practitioners of Texas

Dear Friends:

Thank you for inviting me to be a part of Falun Dafa Day in Houston, Texas on October 12, 2003. Unfortunately, I will not be able to join you in person to celebrate Falun Dafa's beliefs in truthfulness, compassion and forbearance.

The freedom to practice one's beliefs is a fundamental human right. I admire your dedication to Falun Dafa, and I support the rights of Falun Dafa practitioners to practice their religion freely and without fear of persecution.

Again, thank you for extending such a kind invitation.

Sincerely,

Eddie Bernice Johnson
Member of Congress
