I want to make a number of points, but first to join with the chairman of the committee. We have worked hard on this legislation on a bipartisan basis, and also with the Senate. I think these are the important points, if I might say so…

I now yield 1\1/2\ minutes to another member of our committee from the great State of Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer), who is so active on trade issues.

Could you verify how much time there is on both sides. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Levin) has 9 minutes, and the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Camp) has 15\1/2\ minutes.

I want to thank you, Mr. Michaud, for your arduous efforts. I reserve the balance of my time.

I very much agree with you that we must enforce our trading partners' commitments so that our American workers can compete on a level playing field, and I really believe that Mr. Camp, our chairman, and others concur in that. I, too, have…

As my colleague knows, today's legislation includes reporting requirements on all of Russia's commitments they made prior to joining the WTO, including the reduction of tariffs and other commitments related to manufacturing sectors. I will…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I very much agree with my colleague from Maine that it's vital to monitor and fully enforce our trade agreements, and I will work with USTR to keep you and other Members of Congress informed when Russia…

Could you tell us the time that's left for us? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Levin) has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Camp) has 4 minutes remaining.

I yield myself the balance of my time. You know, I think the public should ask why this resolution, why trying to provide some kind of a smokescreen for an ad that has been called a ``pants on fire lie'' and ``four Pinocchio's dishonest,''…
