Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, we have had a very rigorous and robust debate on trade. Trade is important to not only the entire country, but certainly it is important to the communities that I represent.

Throughout this process, I have followed the dictates of organized labor, and I have followed the dictates of the people I represent, which means I voted ``no.'' I listened to the logic of the Democratic leader just this moment, and I am going to vote with her. I am going to vote for this legislation today because it is necessary to help those individuals who are going to be displaced, and they need all the help we can provide. I will vote to help them.

Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time.
