The letter also urged the President to withhold his support for Russia’s entry into the World Trade Organization (WT0) until the nation takes appropriate steps to improve its IPR enforcement.

Representatives Tom Lantos (D-CA-12), Ranking Member of the House International Relations Committee, and Darrell Issa (R-CA-49) also signed the letter.
