Vietnam needs your help in the final stage of the process of
normalization of relations between our two countries!  Legislation
granting Vietnam permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) will be voted
on very soon in the Congress.

PNTR is the normal state of trade relations between the US and the vast
majority of the world¹s countries. Simply put, PNTR for Vietnam is a
matter of basic fairness and equality between nations.  We who worked
hard to bring about an end to the embargo and the normalization of
relations need to bring our voices to bear now!

The opposition to PNTR is a relic of the cold war and a continuation of
our country¹s war against Vietnam, which those of us who stand for
peace and justice have opposed.  We believe, with Madame Nguyen Thi
Binh, that achieving this final stage of normalization will enhance the
full panoply of relations between the US and Vietnamese people.

Below is a letter from Madame Binh to U.S. friends -- of Vietnam and of
peace.   After reading it, we hope that you will call or email your
representative in the Congress and urge them to vote YES on H.R. 5602.

Call your congress member by dialing the Congressional switchboard at
(202) 225-3121 and email you Congress member by going to
http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW.shtml and clicking on the link to
your representative.

You can also communicate your support of this legislation to the House
Ways and Means Committee Chairs, William Thomas and Charles Rangel.

We¹d appreciate a copy of your emails to be sent to us at
merleratner at yahoo.com

Please take a moment to do this today or tomorrow and thank you!
