ACTION ITEM

Trade relations with Ukraine

It is urgent that the Ukrainian American community make itself heard on an issue of critical importance to Ukraine - i.e., extension of permanent normal trade relations to Ukraine.

Rep. Bob Schaffer of Colorado, one of the co-chairs of the Congressional Ukrainian Caucus, on March 13 introduced a bill (H.R. 3953) in the House extending permanent normal trade relations (formerly designated "most favored nation" or MFN status) to Ukraine. This bill will not move through Congress without your help.

Therefore, we appeal to you to immediately contact your representative and senators to urge them to support this vital legislation. Due to security considerations with incoming mail, we recommend that you e-mail, call or fax your congressional representatives.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Ukrainian American Coordinating Council's headquarters in Washington by phone, (202) 737-6090; fax, (202) 737-6091; or e-mail, uaccw@aol.com.

Thank you for your attention to this issue and your help for Ukraine. Ukraine needs this help now.
