CUSIB Executive Director Ann Noonan would like to share the following remarks about Mr. Robert Senser, a former U.S. Foreign Service officer and CUSIB Advisory Board member, after hearing about his passing:

“CUSIB was blessed to have Robert Senser serve as Member of our Advisory Board. I was honored to meet Bob in the late 1990s during a Congressional Hearing about China’s brutal one-child policy. That afternoon, along with a small group of people, we joined Bob and Harry Wu at a nearby restaurant and I had a chance to speak with him about his work as a Catholic labor-rights advocate and labor rights expert in the U.S. Foreign Service, and about the work he had done to help Harry Wu and the Laogai Research Foundation. Through the years, we stayed in touch and Bob was always willing to offer advice, which included efforts to promote a human rights in China message during Pasadena’s 2008 Rose Parade.
When Ted Lipien and I formed CUSIB, Bob did not hesitate to accept our invitation to join our NGO. We were especially grateful to Robert Senser for lending his name to sign on to CUSIB letters to the U.S. Congress requesting their strong support to restore the funding in the FY2013 Budget for Voice of America (VOA) radio and television broadcasting to China and Tibet and for Voice of America (VOA) Spanish Broadcasts to Latin America.
While he will be greatly missed by his family and close friends, those of us who also had a chance to know Robert Senser realize that through knowing him, our lives were all enriched. May he rest in peace.”
