I respectfully request that you investigate Morocco's export quota on Gigartina and, if necessary, seek consultations with the government of Morocco to resolve the issue in a manner that is consistent with all relevant WTO and FTA…

Bipartisan majorities of the House and the Senate have insisted that currency manipulation should be addressed.

Those concerns are, in my view, very unfounded.

Many members of Congress from both parties and in both chambers are on record either praising or criticizing that bill.

I stated plainly that U.S. trade with foreign countries is a good thing, and I said that TPA is the best tool Congress has in its arsenal to help influence and facilitate trade.

We appreciate you, Mr. Ambassador, and with that, we will recess until further notice by the chair.

Congress must not agree to fast-track a fast-track bill right now.

I know this because, more often than not, I was the one bringing it up.

If we can get this done--and I believe we will; I believe we will have this basically agreed to before the end of this day.

The United States should be a leader in international trade. We should be setting the standards and making the rules.

America needs an entirely new trade negotiating authority, not minor tweaks at the margin.

I want to thank Ranking Member Wyden for his support and assistance thus far.

Make no mistake, failure on these negotiations would have a negative impact on our economy.

Hopefully, with your help, we will be able to have enough votes on both sides to be able to pass this.

Our legislation will fix that.

Trade is an essential element of a healthy economy.

We need to be leading the world on trade, writing the rules, and setting standards.

I oppose the TAA program, but... I understand it is necessary to maintain Democratic support for TPA.
