Pat Roberts: “I think that's really important.”

I call this hearing of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee to order.

I hope we do not stumble on it, and that is to somehow get back engaged with TPP.

These very important missions will be even better served with the necessary key leadership in place.

Instead of going bilateral, bilateral, bilateral, bilateral times 11, to get back into TPP would really send a message to China.
