There have been certain characterizations made about those who are advocates for this amendment. I ask the Senator if he believes these characterizations apply to himself: That those who support the amendment are against trade of almost any kind, that we are against the administration, we want to be obstructionists to the administration's trade policies, and that we are xenophobic, against the rest of the world. Does the Senator consider himself as fitting in any of those categories? I don't consider myself to fit into those categories.
