		Wen Ho Lee, an American of Chinese descent, is an unfortunate victim of ethnic scapegoating, and is trapped in a media and partisan frenzy which clearly violates his rights to due process and equal protection under the nation's laws.
		We are concerned and hope that what happened to Wen Ho Lee, and his horrific experience with "ethnic profiling" and invidious treatment will not set a precedent by casting suspicion on the loyalty of all Asian-American scientists and professionals in this country who have, together, contributed so much to the growth and progress of America.
