Secretary Locke has gone on record saying that one of his top priorities is trade promotion.

I think it's really just pounding the pavement.

I think it's very important.

From my perspective, what you have told us is that we have seen a leveling off of this job loss. However, we are still facing significant issues here.

Ben Bernanke, the Chair of the Federal Reserve, has been suggesting that our economy may be out of recession.

I don't believe that that is the answer.

Do you see this with other recessions that we've had in the past?

I was thinking back to the policies that got us there. We had eight years where, basically--there's plenty of blame to go around.

Do you know much about the history of these extensions of unemployment benefits, and if they were set at a certain rate, which unemployed get them and which don't?

So the major sector that we're having the major debate about and would be arguably facing the greatest uncertainty has actually, in its response to government policies, has actually seen increases in employment?
