Commission Co-Chair Frank Wolf (R-VA) said we "have to do something bold and different" on Tibet, called for the next Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues to "bring a freshness to the issue," and labeled the situation inside Tibet as one of "cultural genocide." He also urged the State Department to consult the Tibetan community on who they think would be appropriate for the post of the Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issue.
