Nunes and independence date

Dear Editor,

I wish to thank the newspaper for publishing a letter captioned, ‘May 26 is the anniversary of the Wismar atrocities and not just independence,’ on Independence Day. In that letter I inadvertently noted that “Senator Vernon Nunes is believed to have picked the date of May 26, in 1962,” when what should have been said is that I believe Senator Vernon Nunes suggested a date for independence in 1962.

Yours faithfully,
Rakesh Rampertab
