This agreement represents good news for the coal industry, good news for its workers, and more good news for the economy as we approach the holiday season.

That's why we just passed the North American Free Trade Agreement.

I think we're much closer on health care than you think.

We did not agree to relax anything.

This was not our agreement, this was their agreement; we simply helped facilitate the discussion.

Both sides appeared to be willing to agree to it.

I strongly recommend that the Congress consider issuance of a joint resolution to bring this agreement into force at an early date.

It is for us now to make sure that this agreement is speedily passed by the United States Senate.

This agreement is in the deep self-interest of the United States.

We must not allow the opponents of that agreement to derail the new progress that this year has brought.

This agreement is a significant net plus for the American economy.

Absolutely, I do.

I think we're coming toward agreement on it, and I'm hopeful.

We don't want to just have a trade agreement with no standards.

I recommend that the Congress give favorable consideration to this agreement at an early date.

I just signed the agreement, sending it up to Capitol Hill to push forward now with these preferences.

I'm convinced the two can go hand in hand.

Well, the people, the American people agree with me, and that's what matters.
