I wanted to write and convey my deep appreciation to you for the remarkable efforts you have made on behalf of democracy in Zimbabwe. Your high level of energy and resolute determination have produced truly impressive results in terms of the bipartisan support that you have mustered for this great cause amongst members of the United States Congress and within the Administration. It was particularly impressive that the Speaker of the House of Representatives (and other senior members as well) personally attended the event you organized last year on behalf of the Zimbabwe Democracy Trust. Of even greater significance are the strong efforts you made culminating in the passage of the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act (signed into law by President George W. Bush in 2001). Your successful efforts to bring to Washington, D.C., Pius Ncube, Archbishop of Bulawayo in Zimbabwe, resulted in a personal meeting between him and Secretary of State, Colin Powell, and in a subsequent guest editorial by Secretary Powell published in the New York Times.
