Senators Place Hold on Vietnam Trade Bill
Textile World reports:
"Although the Senate Finance Committee voted 18-0 to send legislation [S. 3495] granting Vietnam permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) to the full Senate for a vote, the process has been placed on hold as a result of efforts by two textile state senators. Sens. Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., have put a hold on the legislation until they can get some concession that they believe will protect the interests of the US textile industry. PNTR is a necessary step leading to Vietnam’s admission into the World Trade Organization (WTO)"
