JOINT RESOLUTION
Approving the renewal of import restrictions contained in the Burmese
Freedom and Democracy Act of 2003.
Whereas the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) has failed to make
substantial and measurable progress toward implementing a democratic
government in Burma;
Whereas the courage and determination of the people of Burma in their struggle
for freedom and justice remains steadfast and strong;
Whereas import sanctions and other restrictions against the SPDC and its
affiliated entities should remain in force until Burma embarks on an
irreversible path of reconciliation that includes the full and
unfettered participation of the National League for Democracy and ethnic
minorities in the country; and
Whereas the Department of State supports the continuation of sanctions against
the SPDC: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assembled, That Congress approves the
renewal of the import restrictions contained in section 3(a)(1) of the
Burmese Freedom and Democracy Act of 2003.
