Indeed. it would seem to be apparent that bilateral relations with Thailand are in their lowest state ever. and I see no immediate prospect for improvements. Trade relations with Thailand are strained. and section 301 investigations against Thailands piracy of United States intellectual property are ongoing. Narcotics cooperation is nonexistent. Relations are also strained over Thailands patronage of that most brutal military junta in Burma. As Foreign Minister Asa visits. I would draw his attention to a recent report by Amnesty International. an organization of the greatest integrity. of the flagrant violations of international standards by Thai authorities in the treatment of Burmese refugees. I ask unanimous consent that the report by Amnesty International be printed in the RECORD.
