Letter to Barack Obama, President of the United States - Korea, Columbia and Panama Trade Agreements
Letter
Date: July 19, 2011
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Foreign Affairs Trade
Dear Mr. President,
As Republican Senators, we urge you to submit the Korea, Columbia and Panama trade agreements as soon as possible, with the understanding that we will support a separate Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) bill that reflects the bipartisan reforms negotiated by Chairmen Baucus and Camp and the White House.
In order to move this process forward, we commit to supporting cloture on the motion to proceed to such a TAA bill and cloture on the bill itself. We believe that the trade agreements and TAA should receive separate up or down votes on their merits.
We therefore urge you to separate the pending trade agreements and TAA, and immediately submit the three trade agreements to Congress.
