We have received a News Update on the stationery of the infamous US-Vietnam Trade Council ...employer of one Ms. Comrade Francis Zwenig of John Kerry/SSC damage control/Oral Briefing almost Shredding/Auto Metrics Fits the Bill memo fame. Interesting.

The News Update is verbatim:

"JACKSON-VANIK UPDATE

On June 25, 1998, the House Ways & Means Committee voted in support of the Jackson-Vanik renewal for Vietnam. The Committee acted by voice vote to reject H.J. Res. 120 -- a bill sponsored by Representatives Rohrabacher (R-CA), Gilman (R-NY), Smith (R-NJ) and Royce (R-CA) to oppose the Jackson-Vanik Amendment waiver for Vietnam. The floor vote in the House is expected during the third or fourth week of July.

A similar motion to reject Jackson-Vanik for Vietnam is being presented to the Senate Finanace Committee. S.J.Res. 47, a resolution sponsored by Senator Bob Smith (R-NH) and Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC) was introduced on June 4, 1998. A committee vote is expected soon after the Senate reconvenes after the July 4th recess."
