A speech by President Lee Teng-hui of Taiwan to Cornell University alumni at 3 p.m. Friday, June 9, was broadcast live over the Internet. Information about Lee's visit to the Cornell University campus is also available via the World Wide Web.
Lee's speech was viewed by many users of CU-SeeMe, a free videoconferencing program available from Cornell.
