  S.J. Res. 39. A joint resolution approving the renewal of import

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, along with 52 of my colleagues I am 
reintroducing a resolution to renew the import restrictions contained 
in the Burmese Freedom and Democracy Act of 2003. This resolution is 
identical to the language in S.J. Res. 36, introduced by myself and 
others on April 29, 2004, except that the preamble has been stricken. I 
am pleased that Secretary of State Colin Powell has written in support 
of this legislation.
  I again urge the Senate Finance Committee to expedite consideration 
of this legislation, which enjoys broad bipartisan support in the 
Senate.
