For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
August 1, 2002
Statement by the President
The Senate's bipartisan passage of Trade Promotion Authority
completes an accomplishment that has eluded Congress since 1994 and is
a major victory on behalf of working Americans. With TPA, we will open
markets to create high paying jobs and provide new opportunities for
America's farmers and workers. I thank the House and Senate for
passing TPA so that we can work together to advance America's free
trade agenda. With this important tool, we will promote prosperity in
the United States, progress in our hemisphere, and freedom throughout
the world.
