Rep. Waxman and 34 colleagues urge the U.S. Trade Representative to reexamine the Administration’s decision to put Thailand on a “Priority Watch List” because of steps taken by the Thai government to secure generic versions of three drugs for citizens in its public health program. In the letter, the members call on the USTR to affirm the rights of countries to use the public health flexibilities recognized in international trade law.

The complete letter is available at Congressman Waxman’s webpage, or here .
