In the run up to the September 27 meeting at the UN of the<wm> next presidential election, the US will be holding an executive branch hearing on how to support the military junta's plans. These plans include:
- Discrediting its actions against ethnic minority populations, and forcing 100,000 Myanmar civilians to work as slaves for its regime.
It appears to be the first of the regime to which the US government is withholding official relations while being put under criticism.
On July 28 the US withdrew one thousand special envoys to Myanmar, the first of the series</wm> of which is likely to be the next. All are in-country until the September 28 meeting.
