Ron Kirk: “By repealing Jackson-Vanik, we make sure--and you represent a part of the country in which innovation is just embedded…”

If we don't repeal Jackson-Vanik, we are going to be at that higher arbitrary rate against competitors from around the world.

Terminating Jackson-Vanik and extending PNTR to Russia is in the absolute best interests of American businesses, workers, and innovators.

Congressman, it will certainly open up more markets, particularly in services Russia is committed to.

If we don't repeal Jackson-Vanik and extend PNTR, we have none of those protections.
