We are starting to see the makings of a currency war out there, where others are devaluing their currencies at our expense. That's why this needs to be addressed at a multilateral level. I feel we can do this in a responsible way. So because of these concerns, I am going to oppose this bill. But I do want to thank you, Chairman Levin, for working back from what was originally a very bad bill to something that is improved. I think we can do better. I can only wish that we were able to work further on this to where we could have a truly strong bipartisan agreement to approaching our very complicated and important commercial and economic relationship with China.
