   Divestment in Myanmar

   Bottom Line: Human rights groups upset with Myanmar (formerly  Burma)  are
pushing legislation that would prohibit the state from purchasing goods or
services from any company doing business with the country. 
   Chances: The bill faces heavy opposition from oil interests and business
advocates, but has the support of at least one key panel, the Assembly's
International Trade and Development Committee.

   Next Step: The bill is scheduled for an April 14 hearing before the
International Trade and Development Committee.
