"President Obama said he will sign the bill. It extends those programs for the rest of this year."

"President Obama has established extending Permanent Normal Trade Relations to Russia and terminating application of Jackson-Vanik to Russia as a major priority."

"America has no better partner than Europe, and that is true today."

"Closer economic integration in Europe was an essential underpinning to a stronger Europe and its ability to be a robust ally to the United States."
