Bush to approve US gold medal honour to Suu Kyi
Tuesday, May 06, 2008 02:37 [IST]

Washington: US President George W Bush will sign legislation tomorrow awarding the Congressional Gold Medal to Myanmar's democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi, First Lady Laura Bush said today.

"The president will sign the legislation tomorrow, the congressional legislation that awards Aung San Suu Kyi the Congressional Medal of Honor," the US first lady told reporters.

"He will, and I think that s important. I think it's just another way, like the Senate and the House caucuses on Burma, that let the people of Burma know that the United States is standing with them," she said.
