USA*Engage Urges President to Waive Sanctions Under the Syria Accountability Act

USA*Engage and the National Foreign Trade Council recently sent a letter to President Bush urging him to waive the sanctions against Syria contained in the Syria Accountability Act (H.R. 1828) recently passed by Congress, but has not yet been signed by the President.

The letter states that imposing any of the sanctions set forth in the legislation would have a severely negative impact on hundreds of U.S. businesses currently operating in Syria. Moreover, the letter noted that unilateral sanctions have an "established track record of failing to achieve their desired foreign policy objectives and are, in fact, counterproductive to U.S. commercial, diplomatic, and national security interests."
