Dear Mr. Wray,

 

We write to express concern over remarks you made at the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing on February 13, 2018. We are a coalition of organizations, representing a range of communities, including Chinese Americans, Asian Americans, and others committed to American principles of civil rights. We include community groups, fraternal associations, non-profit organizations, and professional associations. All of the organizations represented are non-partisan. What unites us is our interest in promoting belonging and equality, including of immigrants. On behalf of our many thousands of members, who are loyal citizens, native-born and naturalized, as well as immigrants, we request a meeting at your earliest convenience. We believe there is an opportunity to engage in positive dialogue to advance our nation’s ideals as well as its national security. . .
