The Coalition for U.S.-Russia Trade is pleased to invite you to join a broad-based group of U.S. interests who strongly support Russia's entry into the WTO as a member in good standing.
In anticipation of a final accession agreement that comprehensively addresses U.S. interests, we will soon be launching our campaign in the U.S. Congress to graduate Russia from the Jackson-Vanik provisions of U.S. law and provide Russia with Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR). This legislation is necessary to keep U.S. interests on a competitive footing in the Russian market - so it is imperative that the U.S. Congress pass it by the time of Russia's formal accession to the WTO.
Coalition Members
Coalition Membership is open to any U.S. company or organization, and no fees are involved. By joining the Coalition, we will include your company's or organization's name on the rapidly growing list of those supporting Russia's graduation from Jackson-Vanik and the extension of PNTR to Russia. In addition, you will be kept apprised of Coalition activities and events and receive recognition as a Coalition Member on the Coalition website and in materials distributed on Capitol Hill.
Coalition Sponsors / Coalition Steering Committee
For those interested in a leadership role and greater visibility within the Coalition, we encourage you to sign on to the Coalition as a Coalition Sponsor or Steering Committee member. Sponsors and Steering Committee members will also be kept apprised of Coalition activities and events and receive recognition on the Coalition website and in materials distributed on Capitol Hill, but they will also have the opportunity for more visible engagement in the campaign. To learn more about becoming a Coalition Sponsor or Steering Committee member, please contact the Coalition Secretariat at (202) 222-0670.
We encourage you to return the attached Membership Form today.
The Coalition for U.S.-Russia Trade welcomes your participation in this important historic effort that recognizes the meaningful economic ties that exist between the United States and Russia and the enormous potential for even greater cooperation in the commercial sphere (and beyond) in the future.
Sincerely,
Stephen Biegun
