On the recordNovember 19, 2004

this is an issue in which I, Senators Feingold, Coleman, and many others have taken a deep interest. I believe this resolution is an important statement. It makes very clear, when the Senate passes the miscellaneous tariff bill with Laos NTR, that we still condemn the consistent pattern of serious human rights abuses, and we will continue to press forward for increased access for the Hmong and other ethnic minorities in remote areas of Laos. I thank the Chair. I yield the floor.
