Edolphus Towns: “What is the plan to repay the American people, and does it have a realistic chance of working?”

First of all, I would like to thank the Members who worked very hard to make this a reality, and I want to take the opportunity to applaud the leadership and its commitment to the Members of Congress who have worked so hard on this…

Thank you Chairman Bono-Mack and Ranking member Butterfield for holding this hearing today on 'Made in America: Increasing Jobs through Exports and Trade'.

I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to address these barriers to job growth and economic independence.

Unfortunately the discussion draft before us today falls short of the commitment needed to ensure that the personal information of hard working Americans are kept safe.
