G-L,

I am sure all of you who signed the petition to Rust College received an
email similar to this, but I just wanted to forward it to the list.

 Dear Mr Beckley,

 On behalf of all my compatriots who wrote to you, and on behalf of the
Gambian people whose only desire is to live under a true democracy where all
are free in every sense of the word, we thank you from the bottom of our
hearts. Your response to our request is a contribution to our struggle
towards this freedom.

 Regards,
 Jabou N.Joh

  Dear Jabou:


  This is to acknowledge your recent e-mail in regards to the invitation for
  Messrs. Tombong Saidy and Yankuba Touray (Gambian Officials) to visit the
  Rust College campus during the National African American Student Leadership
  Conference next week.  After reviewing your concern and receiving
  information from the United States State Department, I have advised the
  sponsor of the National African American Student Leaderhsip Conference to
  withdraw the invitation to the Gambian officials.

  Sincerely,



  David L. Beckley
  President
