Description
Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) Status for Russia and U.S.-Russian Economic Ties
Congressional Research Service Report for Congress
...During his November 13-15, 2001 meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin,
President George W. Bush stated that his administration will work with the Congress
to grant Russia permanent “normal trade relations†(PNTR) status. The change in
Russia’s trade status will require legislation to lift the restrictions currently applied to
Russia under Title IV of the Trade Act of 1974, which includes the “freedom-ofemigrationâ€
requirements of the Jackson-Vanik amendment. Two bills have been
introduced in the 107th Congress, H.R. 3553 (Thomas) and S. 1861 (Lugar) to grant
PNTR status to Russia....
