“I ask an affirmative vote on this amendment. Trade adjustment assistance is very simple. We have a job crisis in the country. This program for decades now has helped people get through crises and, very importantly, has allowed them to be trained and retrained for the jobs of the future. We need this program, our workers need it, and our economy needs it. I commend the work of Chairman Baucus and my colleague from Ohio, Senator Brown. I ask for an affirmative vote on this amendment. My colleague from Ohio.”
