On the recordMay 22, 2015
Colleagues, for three decades, our country has never lost an investor dispute case and never paid one dime in penalties. Let me repeat that. We have never lost an investor dispute case and have never paid a dime in penalties. Here is our record: 17 cases, 17 victories. These provisions are about raising the world to our economy's level of safety for investment. Without these protections, our small businesses with investments abroad will have nowhere to turn if a corrupt government steals a factory or a crooked judge targets them unfairly. Each of our States has businesses that started in a garage, grew up, and looked abroad for new chances to expand. Let's make the world safer for the American brand. I urge rejection of this amendment. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to amendment No. 1327, offered by the Senator from Massachusetts, Ms. Warren.
