Was the gentleman concerned that on one hand, Governor Bush allegedly talks about opening these up overseas, and yet, turns around and criticizes the recent initiatives that were taken by this body on a bipartisan basis to open up the opportunity of having food to be traded with Cuba? Does that seem a little bizarre to the gentleman?

I can speak confidently for House Democrats when I say we are firmly committed to reauthorization of AGOA and HOPE before their expiration next year.

House Democrats have collectively shown an impenetrable commitment to the people of sub-Saharan Africa and Haiti.
We have $163 billion a year that is not paid by the top 1 percent of American taxpayers.
