Mr. Schumer drafted the legislation with the help of the American Jewish Con- gress. According to Mr. Schumer's office, most boycott experts feel that in- dividuals and companies do not have the stated right under cm-rent law to sue a company complying with boycott laws. "Many companies view the Commerce Department boycott fines as no more than the cost of doing busi- ness. "Now companies that break U.S. boycott laws will pay for the harm they cause and those harmed will be compensated," Mr. Schumer said in a statement. Will Maslow, editor of the AJCongress publication Boycott Report, agreed. "Congressman Schumer's bill will lead to better en- forcement and will stimulate individuals and companies who are harmed by illegal boycott compliance to file suit for damages," Mr. Maslow said. ❑
