Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat and chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, also applauded the USTR announcement.&quot;Intellectual property thieves aren&#39;t just stealing American ideas, they&#39;re stealing dollars from U.S. businesses and stealing jobs out from under U.S. workers,&quot; Baucus said in a statement. &quot;And the problem of intellectual property theft is rampant worldwide.&quot;The trade agreement would complement the work of President George Bush&#39;s administration to encourage other countries through the World Trade Organization to enforce intellectual-property rights, the USTR said. But the ACTA would set a higher benchmark for intellectual-property enforcement that countries can join voluntarily, USTR said.
