Statement of Chairman
Bill Thomas (R-CA) on President’s Release of New Trade
Policy Agenda
WASHINGTON, DC – The Bush Administration this
afternoon released the President’s 2001 International
Trade Agenda. Ways and Means Chairman Bill Thomas issued
the following statement:
"If the United States is to remain the global
trade leader, we must continue to open markets and break
down barriers to free and fair trade. The President’s
approach will help do just that and we look forward to
moving ahead with his trade agenda.
This document also reflects that the President, in
very significant ways, is taking into account the
concerns raised by my colleagues on the other side of the
aisle. It is my hope that Democrats will be receptive to
this new trade outline as we move forward in a bipartisan
way to open markets for U.S. goods and services."
