Sessions' Pro-Business Record Garners Spirit of Enterprise Award
U.S. Chamber of Commerce Recognizes Lawmaker's 100% Pro-Business Voting Record

Washington, Mar 15 -

U.S. Congressman Pete Sessions (R-Dallas) today received the 2005 Spirit of Enterprise Award from the United States Chamber of Commerce in recognition of his support for a pro-business legislative agenda during the second session of the 108th Congress.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce issues the Spirit of Enterprise Award each year based on rankings it gives lawmakers for key business votes. Those votes are listed in the Chamber's annual How They Voted publication.

Sessions scored 93% for his voting record on the Chamber's 2005 key votes, including votes on class action reform, bankruptcy reform, and free trade, including the U.S.-Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement. Sessions has received the Spirit of Enterprise Award from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce each year he has served in Congress. A listing of the 2005 key votes in the U.S. House of Representatives is available online by accessing the website of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce at http://www.uschamber.com/issues/legislators/soe.htm.

"I am once again honored to receive the Spirit of Enterprise Award from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce," said Sessions. "Our economy continues to experience strong and sustained growth, and I believe that this strong growth is driven by strong American business. By enacting legislation that helps businesses to increase their productivity and add employees to their payrolls, we as legislators can do our part to help continue the strong economic growth and expansion our nation has experienced recently."
