80-20 Educational Foundation's (EF) press release of a few days ago
reported to you that it has achieved its 2008 election goals. They are:

1) to help elect a President who shares Asian Americans' rightful
concerns in equal opportunity and justice. Please recall the written
commitment by President-elect Obama to the Asian Am. community
through EF.

2) to have input into the Presidential Transition Team (TT) so that
incoming high level appointed officials will share the rightful concerns of
Asian Americans. 3 Asian Ams are in the transition groups (TT &
its Advisory Board) of 28 persons. Two are top leadership of the TT.

  EF has worked with the TT, and things are proceeding smoothly. In a
correspondence with EF, Chris Lu, Executive Director of the TT said,

       "The fact that President-elect Obama has asked Pete
       Rouse and me to assist with the transition planning is an
       example of his strong commitment to including Asian
       Americans in his administration."

  One main focus of EF is to ensure that the next Secretary of Labor is
committed to enforcing Exec. Order 11246 for ALL Americans. Currently
Asian Americans are left out of the enforcement, unlike all other
Americans.

  When that law is enforced, YOU, indeed every Asian American, will
be greatly empowered. The number of Asian American managers is
estimated to double from the current 500,000 to 1,000,000 in private
industries, universities, and the Federal government, over a period of 10
years. Let's assume that each promotion represents a pay increase of
$5,000 only; the combined increase in salary income will be $2.5 billion
dollars. If parts of that sum flow into the Asian American related
businesses, every Asian American will benefit including those in Korea-
/Japan-/India-/Filipino-/Vietnam- and China-town. Bear in mind that a
rising tide raises all ships. Above all, we become equal citizens
and will enjoy increased opportunities to contribute to America.

  Our members are those who really made the above possible. Will you
join them in helping 80-20 please? Thank you.

Respectfully yours,

S. B. Woo
President, 80-20 Educational Foundation, Inc.
