Senate Approves Renewal of Sanctions on Myanmar
By a vote of 97-1, the U.S. Senate voted yesterday to approve H.J. Res. 52, legislation that would renew U.S. import restrictions on products from Myanmar that were contained in the Burmese Freedom and Democracy Act of 2003. The measure, approved last month by the House of Representatives, now goes to President Bush, who is expected to sign it. The sanctions on Myanmar are due to expire July 28.
