A press conference and forum will be held at the Chicago Chinatown Public Library afternoon on May 14. The theme is "Visits by Lien Chan and James Soon and the Prospect of one China." The visit by Lien Chan, Chairman of the Nationalist Party, called ice-breaking trip, and the People First Party Chairman James Soong's visit, called the bridge building journey are significant. Their visits help ease the tension of Taiwan Strait and provide a step towards negotiation for peaceful unification. The press conference is jointly sponsored by the One China Committee, the Federation of Mid-American Chinese Academic Organizations, and the Mid-West Association of Preservation of World War II History.
