Senator Bingaman Seeks Closer Monitoring of Boycott Compliance by USTR

Following the Jerusalem Post's recent series of articles that Arab countries continue to enforce the boycott of Israel despite assurances to the contrary, Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), the Ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee's International Trade Subcommittee, has joined the growing members of Congress that have voiced their dissatisfaction with the U.S. Trade Representative's (USTR) efforts to assess boycott compliance by Arab countries.

The Jerusalem Post reports today that Senator Bingaman
has advised "USTR that they need to do a better job of determining the level of compliance of countries that have made commitments to the United States not to participate in the Arab League boycott." Bingaman also said that, while he is currently inclined to give the USTR "an opportunity" to improve its reporting mechanism on the Arab boycott, he did not rule out the possibility of introducing legislation in order to bring about change.
