“The water supply problem
for Gandan Temple in Tibet will soon be solved!” Li Guo'an, a member of the 3rd
Session of the 10th CPPCC, told the reporter in delight: “I submitted
the investigation report to the CPPCC last August, and I didn't expect this
problem could have been solved in such a short time.” Many other deputies from
the army shared the same feeling with Li Guo'an.
In the one year since the 2nd Session of the
10th CPPCC, members from military have actively played their role in
political consultation, democratic supervision and participation in and
deliberation of state affairs and put forward many valuable opinions and
proposals on a number of important issues concerning the national economy and
the people's livelihood. Some of their proposals have been transferred by the
central government leaders to the related departments for implementation, and
some of their opinions have been incorporated into the papers of the central
government. Thus they have made new contributions to the national and military
construction and development.
Proposals are the most direct and effective way for the CPPCC
members to perform their function. According to the working staff of the special
invite team from the army, members from military have been very active in
making proposals in the past year; they have submitted a total of 145 proposals,
and the central government organs and the local government departments have
adopted 82 of them. So in comparison to the previous years, the past year has
witnessed the greatest number of proposals received, the greatest number of
proposal adopted. In addition the quality of the proposals have also seen new
improvement. During the 2nd Session of the 10th CPPCC, Guo
Dongya and other 35 members submitted proposals on six aspects, such as
national defense education, cultivation of NCO contingent, safeguarding of
servicemen's rights and interests and so forth, and all of them have been
greatly valued by the related departments of the PLA four general
headquarters/departments.
