Ron Kirk: “Terminating Jackson-Vanik and extending PNTR to Russia is in the absolute best interests of American businesses…”

By repealing Jackson-Vanik, we make sure--and you represent a part of the country in which innovation is just embedded in our lifeblood.

if we don't repeal Jackson-Vanik and extend PNTR, we have none of those protections.

I would remind the Committee, 97 percent of U.S. exporters are what we define as small businesses.

We aren't going to conclude TPP without trade promotion authority.
