For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
July 27, 2002
President Pleased with Trade Promotion Authority Progress
Statement by the President
Policy in Focus: Trade
For nearly 10 Years, America has lacked Trade Promotion Authority and
the ability to fully take advantage of trade opportunities. I commend
the House and Senate conferees for their leadership in reaching a
landmark agreement on TPA, which will open markets, expand opportunity
and create jobs for American workers and farmers. The House has shown a
commitment to getting something done on behalf of the American people,
and I urge the Senate to vote on this good bill before the Senate goes
home for the August recess.
