Jim McDermott: “It will give to all Americans the peace of mind--the security--to which all citizens should be entitled.”

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

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

This area is such a large part of our economy as well as such a large part of our question of national security.

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.
