Letter from Mayor of City of Amarillo, Texas to a Falun Dafa Practitioner

Dear Mr. Pan:

I have received the information you have sent to me. It was very interesting to read of the benefits of Falun Gong. I believe that an endeavor which combines physical exercise with stress relief would be of considerable value to its practitioners. There is no question that these benefits aid individuals in the workplace and in their lives in general.

It is regrettable that some authorities have chosen to suppress this activity and some of its adherents. I trust that you will continue to disseminate information about Falun Gong and its physical and psychological benefits so that they may be enjoyed by ever increasing numbers and devotees.

Sincerely,

Kel Seliger

Mayor
