Mr. WYDEN. Madam President, before I speak on the trade legislation--and the distinguished chairman of the committee is on the floor as well--I wish to note that the Finance Committee, under the leadership of Chairman Hatch, has already passed a version of this important legislation.
Now we have taken up the House bill--our companion legislation. I congratulate both of my colleagues. Senator Shaheen has talked to me about this a number of times. I know Senator Ayotte is very interested in it as well. I congratulate both of them.
