Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) Status for Russia and U.S.-Russian Economic Ties

The change in Russia's trade status will require legislation to lift the restrictions of Title IV of the Trade Act of 1974 as they apply to Russia, which includes the "freedom-of-emigration" requirements of the Jackson-Vanik amendment.
