I am writing on behalf of the American Federation of Labor and Congress oflndustrialOrganizations (AFL-CIO).

I strongly urge you to speak out immediately against this week's brutal crackdown by theBunnese military against peaceful demonstrations by monks. Chevron's silence in this situationmakes it difficult to take seriously Chevron's position that Chevron should remain in Bunnabecause Chevron is a more responsible corporate actor than alternative possible corporatepartners for the Bunnese regime.

This same issue of Bunna was raised two years ago in a letter to you from AFL-CIOSecretary-Treasurer Richard Trumka, dated July 22,2005 (attached). In that letter, he noted thatChevron remains the only U.S. company with significant assets in Bunna. Almost all U.S.companies, and a sizable number of companies in Europe and Asia, have refused to do businessin Bunna. He quoted the CEO of one of those companies, Reebok Chainnan and CEO PaulFireman, who wrote about the Bunnese regime's atrocities in The Wall Street Journal on June 7,2005, and stated: "It's impossible to conduct business in Bunna without supporting this regime."

When Chevron bought Unocal in 2005, it also acquired Unocal's substantial interest inthe $1.2 billion Yadana gas project. Through the project's production sharing agreement,Chevron is now in part responsible for the transfer of millions of dollars to Burma's militaryregime. This represents a significant part of the money from the oil and gas industry that keepthe regime afloat financially and provides it with the necessary money to buy anns and keep theBunnese people under its brutal rule.

Letter to David J. O'ReillySeptember 28, 2007Page Two

Chevron also funds a trade association, the US-ASEAN Business Council, which lobbiesthe U.S. administration and Congress against the imposition of economic sanctions on Burmadespite the regime's egregious abuse of human rights. This constitutes unacceptable indirectpolitical support for the Burmese military regime by Chevron. We expect Chevron to statepublicly its opposition to the US-ASEAN Business Council's position against economicsanctions on Burma or simply stop funding this lobbying group.

We wish to discuss the issue of Chevron's operations in Burma soon and in greater detail.I have asked Dan Pedrotty, the director of the AFL-CIO Office of fuvestment, to set up ameeting with the appropriate corporate officers. Mr. Pedrotty will be contacting Lydia Beebe onMonday. If you wish to reach Mr. Pedrotty, please call at your convenience at (202) 637-3900.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

~2President
