Re:Jackson-Vanik Update

Date: June 29, 1998

In less than 4 days, the US-Vietnam Trade Council has put out a 'News' update on the Jackson-Waiver. They must be anxious.

"Jackson-Vanik Update

On July 7, 1998, Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) will chair a hearing in the International Trade Subcommittee of the Senate Finance Committee on S.J. Res 47, the measure introduced by Senators Smith and Helms to disapprove President Clinton's waiver of Jackson-Vanik for Vietnam. Invited to testify are Senators John Kerry, John McCain, Bob Smith, Jesse HElms, Assistanat Secretary of State Stanley Roth, and the US-Vietnam Trade Council.

On June 25, 1998, the House Ways & Means Committee voted in support of Jackson-Vanik renewal for Vietnam. The Committee acted by voice vote to reject H.J.Res.120 -- a bill sponsored by Represnetatives Rohrabacher (R-CA), Gilman (R-NY), Smith (R-NJ) and Royce (R-CA) to oppose Jackson-Vanik Amendment waiver for Vietnam. The floor vote in the House is expected during the week of July 27th."
