On the recordJuly 24, 2003
I believe they have been examined with a fine degree of concern, particularly for their impact on the manufacturing and agricultural sectors. I feel very strongly that what we have here is the best kind of treaty that we can have to expand our economy, open up markets, and allow for trade on a very fair and balanced basis, with transparency and provisions that are very clearly enforceable. So I want to thank the gentleman for his comments and add my voice to the long list of those who are urging that these two agreements be passed to create opportunities, to create good-paying American jobs, and to promote healthy trade relationships with two of our better trading partners.
