OPIC has been open for a comparable period. and like Exim. has yet to approve any financing for any American investments in Vietnam. So we ask. how has a waiver of important American laws served our interest. as promised by the President. who is determined to help U.S. business? Furthermore. will JacksonVanik improve the Vietnamese record on POWMIA issues? In the several months since the waiver has been in place. it certainly has not. So. in conclusion. a proposed extension of the waiver of JacksonVanik would reward a lack of progress on human rights. immigration. and economic reform. and the POWMIA effort. Vote yes on this resolution of disapproval. and send a strong message that our Nation values principles over potential profits.
