Jim McDermott: “I appreciate Mr. Hackbarth coming back. You were here the other week.”

This committee has the potential of doing more good for the American people than perhaps any other single subcommittee in the Congress.

It has been a pleasure serving on this committee.

If confirmed as Deputy United States Trade Representative, I will continue to fight for American workers, fight for the environment, and fight for our economic future.

In my opinion, it could be one of the most important hearings we have held during my time as ranking member on the subcommittee.
