TITLE IV--EXTENSION OF NONDISCRIMINATORY TREATMENT (NORMAL TRADE
RELATIONS TREATMENT) TO THE PRODUCTS OF VIETNAM
SEC. 4001. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) In July 1995, President Bill Clinton announced the
formal normalization of diplomatic relations between the United
States and Vietnam.
(2) Vietnam has taken cooperative steps with the United
States under the United States Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command
(formerly the Joint Task Force-Full Accounting) established in
1992 by President George H.W. Bush to provide the fullest
possible accounting of MIA and POW cases.
(3) In 2000, the United States and Vietnam concluded a
bilateral trade agreement that included commitments on goods,
services, intellectual property rights, and investment. The
agreement was approved by joint resolution enacted pursuant to
section 405(c) of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2435(c)),
and entered into force in December 2001.
(4) Since 2001, normal trade relations treatment has
consistently been extended to Vietnam pursuant to title IV of
the Trade Act of 1974.
(5) Vietnam has undertaken significant market-based
economic reforms, including the reduction of government
subsidies, tariffs and nontariff barriers, and extensive legal
reform. These measures have dramatically improved Vietnam's
business and investment climate.
(6) Vietnam has completed its negotiations to join the
World Trade Organization (WTO). On May 31, 2006, the United
States and Vietnam signed a comprehensive bilateral agreement
providing greater market access for goods and services and
other trade liberalizing commitments. On November 7, 2006, the
WTO General Council approved Vietnam's membership. Vietnam's
National Assembly ratified Vietnam's WTO accession commitments
on November 28, 2006, and Vietnam will become the 150th Member
of the WTO 30 days thereafter.
(7) On November 13, 2006, the Department of State removed
Vietnam from its list of Countries of Particular Concern (CPC)
for severe violations of religious freedom. In reaching this
determination, the Department of State cited significant
improvements in Vietnam toward advancing religious freedom,
though problems remain that merit immediate attention and
important work remains to be done to fully protect religious
freedom in Vietnam.

respect to Vietnam, proclaim the extension of nondiscriminatory
treatment (normal trade relations treatment) to the products of
that country.
