Byron Dorgan: “If you want to be fast about something, do something fast, put on your Speedo trunks and do something quickly, and start…”

“If you want to be fast about something, do something fast, put on your Speedo trunks and do something quickly, and start to quickly solve the trade problems we have. I can cite a dozen of them that undercut American jobs and American producers, workers, and farmers. If you want to be fast about something, let's be fast about starting to solve a few of these problems. Just demonstrate that you can solve one; it doesn't have to be all of them. Demonstrate that this country has the nerve and will to stand up and say to other countries: If our market is open to you, then your market has to be open to us. We pledge to you that we will be involved in fair trade with you. We demand and insist that you be involved with fair trade practices with us. If not, this country has the will and the nerve to take action. That is all I ask. If you want to be fast, don't come around here with fast track, come around with fast action to solve trade problems. Show me that you can solve one of them just once.”
