To: Honorable Philip M. Crane; Chairman; Subcommittee on Trade of Ways and Means Committee.
This letter is in strong support of granting normal relation status (NTR) to the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Laos).
More than twenty years in the U.S, I and many Laotian-American still have a need for goods and services that used to be part of our daily lives back in our motherland. These goods, which include arts and craft, agricultural products and canned food items, are unavailable to us here in the United States. As a Laotian-American and a small Business owner, I see this as a promising job and business opportunity. Granting NTR status to Laos will allow me and others entrepreneurs to pursue our ideas. Thanks.
