This tool is absolute critical to getting the best deal possible for American workers.

I plan to offer an alternative to this TPA at tomorrow's markup that puts TPP on the right track, providing a path forward to an agreement that will garner broad bipartisan support in this Congress.

It is unquestionable that the rules of the global economy are being written; the question is, who is going to write them?

We are convinced that this is a multibillion-dollar opportunity to expand access and opportunity for America's farmers, ranchers, and producers.

This is one of those rare instances, I think, where a Democratic administration, a Republican majority, we can see eye-to-eye on a few things.

We want to make sure that the public sees what this is before we are even considering it.

for the first time, this bill includes as a principal negotiating objective an objective on currency that directs the administration to seek a meaningful outcome in our trade agreements.

So we all want stronger economic growth and more jobs.

Do you understand the consequences that are laid out in this bill if the administration does not meet its TPA obligations?
