so they're saying if you don't pass colombia and panama and korea, then we're not going to extend trade adjustment assistance, we're not going to extend the health coverage tax credit. free trade's biggest supporters put so much stock into these free trade agreements and they do so ignoring the elephant in the room. i'm talking about our trade agreement with china. congress approved china pntr more than 11 years ago. we've had half a billion dollars a day in trade deficits with china. that means we buy $500 million a day more in products from china than we sell to products in china. that's what a trade deficit of $500 million a day means, that we actually are buying $500 million every single day more from china than we're selling to china. that is not the sign, long-term sign of prosperity. that is not a long-term indicator of strengthening the middle class. mr. president, until we figure out where we're going on trade and put a halt to these trade agreements and look at what we need to do instead, we're going to continue to seat shrinking of the middle class. last week an appeals court

panama is a major avoidance of -- panama is a site to create subsidiaries, only existing to not pay fair taxes here. why do we do this? and finally there is colombia. colombia, the most dangerous country in the world if you care about labor rights. since the 1990's over 2,000 trade unionists have been assassinated in colombia and in the vast majority of cases there's been no justice for the victims and their families. how can america reward this? when america's trade agreements has failed so vastly and cost us millions of jobs and we haven't had balanced trade accounts in over quarter century and our standard of living is headed down we simply can't afford any more of these losing trade agreements and we ought to go back and renegotiate the ones that aren't working for us now. it's time for a new trade model for our country that benefits our workers and our communities for a change. america simply can't afford another nafta that's called korea. madam speaker, i yield back my remaining time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. pursuant to clause 12-a of rule 1, the chair

here and there and we'll be out quick that's what we do we have been in the past for example grenada panama two fairly quick operations that we not they're not killed off anybody who would say anything to get in like in and took control of the country and at the same time we don't know it could be short it can be known it's hard to say if algeria gets involved in egypt has involved if some of the arab league countries get involved and it's interesting to look at who they are because some of them are very much in the american can't like somalia and job to job but he has one of the america's biggest bases of covert operations in joe booty so it's very interesting to look at the so-called arab league and their position first go ahead we support humanitarian intervention and then wait a minute what did we get involved in and say what did you guys think you were signing up for hey right play that you know you mentioned some of the previous conflicts spread out and some other side you want to get a little bit into the history of historical context here of course the actual libya may have been a s

bush sent 24,000 troops into panama? what about the consultations he had prior to that?not quite old enough to remember that in detail. i remember the announcement we were going in. ?s there any similarities be there? guest: sure, one thing that is important to appreciate is there is the constitution and the war powers resolution. the war powers resolution is a lot. law. it was intended to enforce what congress understood the constitution to maine and to require. whenever we ask about what authority the president has for some military action that he took, we ask whether it was lawful. we have to ask was a constitutional and was unlawful under the war powers resolution. those are two separate questions. those are two separate bodies of law. president bush largely ignored in 1989 in the panama military action the war powers resolution. in any event, he did not seek prior approval by congress. he never sought any approval by congress for that action. many scholars of you that particular case as one where the president pushed his constitutional authority perhaps beyond would

chile, argentina, and uruguay are close behind followed by mexico, panama, and columbia. the combined economies of latin america grew 6% last year. this, coupled with policies, led for this to be called the start of a latin-america decade. this is good news for the people of latin america as well as for the united states. taken as a whole, the latin american economy is nearly three times the size of india or russia and not far behind china and japan. latin america has a huge advantage that will serve it well in the coming decades -- a young population. if the countries of the region succeed in delivering education for their young people, they will have a significant aged four years to come over other major economies that are starting to feel the strain of an aging population. the size of the latin america economy and its young demographics are of great importance to the united states. our economy is tied much more closely to the economies of our neighbors than to those across the ocean. 43% of all of our exports stay in the western hemisphere. we export more than three ti

he's not visiting the two countries that have trade deals languish engine the congress, columbia and panama. >> he said they were -- indicated the top of the administration he will pay attention to latin america. he has. done so. it's a strategic interest for us. >> right. >> and we have neglected it. therefore we should go with the trip tonight bus that says something by itself. >> i have no problem with his traveling at this point. but i do agree that there are two countries there, with whom we have -- failed to pass trade agreements, which would have a very good impact on our economy. and that's would be languishing in the congress several years. and this administration has not been able to get it through. so i think that's the right focus. >> this trip is a distraction from the real world, quite frankly. will be, the united states trade deficit is will be past 500 billion to 550 billion in january, we got trade definite sits with every country in the world. >> you worked with richard nixon. he was interested in latin america. he went to columbia and his limousine was stoned. that's how

goods into colombia and panama somehow hurts them, which is absurd. absolutely absurd, madam president. the administration has previously expressed tepid support for these deals, an acknowledgement that expanding market for u.s. goods can only help u.s. workers and the picture in colombia is better than the labor bosses would have us believe. but they fail to follow through. the irony of union opposition to trade deals is that an expanded u.s. presence in latin america can only help the workers there by exporting u.s. business standards and practices. and, of course, more exports to u.s. firms mean more jobs for u.s. workers in the united states. in the last few weeks company after company has come before congress to testify how important accessing latin american markets is for the future and to create jobs right here in america. according to the chamber of commerce, failing to pass these trade agreements along with the trade agreement with south korea could cost us 380,000 u.s. jobs. while we dither on these agreements, colombia has moved on, having

we abandoned columbia and panama. all the other countries are concluding free trade agreements among themselves while we're being left behind. that's harmful. small statistic. two years ago, 40% of the imports of agricultural goods in colombia was from the united states of america. they concluded free trade agreements. now 20% is there. we have the ability to outcompete any other country in the world and outinnovate. >> to that extent, what do you make, how do you react to the good job news, that 192,000 jobs have been added and the unemployment rate dipped below 9%? >> i think that's good. i worry about the housing situation. my state of arizona is one of those that suffered most from the collapse. we still have nearly 50% of homes are still underwater. we have to look at that as good news. you have to recognize we have to do more. even at this present rate, we would not see a significant drop in unemployment for a very long time. but it's encouraging news. >> what about the budget battle right now? the $61 billion i

we are strong supporters of the colombian and panama free trade agreement. it is in america's interest and we're working very closely with them and the congress to make sure we can do that. >> thank you, madam chairman. >> mr. pence, the vice chair of for the committee on the eurasian and the middle east. >> it is good to see you back before the committee. i also want to thank you specifically for the efforts by the administration to further isolate libya during a time of extraordinary tragedy in the streets, a tragedy of which we are probably only partially aware. i want to continue to encourage and urge the administration to stand with those who are standing in the bifurcated country to use all means at our disposal to provide support. i support mr. royce's comments on isolating communication and would appreciate your efforts at geneva and elsewhere to facilitate a coordinated international response including a no-fly zone. gaddafi must go. i'm grateful to hear the secretary of state and the administration to take that position unambiguously. i would think

. >> the only thing i think there is too much emphasis on the coalition, when we went to panama, we didn't have a coalition. >> when we went to grenada we didn't have a coalition, there are times where the greatest nation in the world and the strongest nation in the world has to act alone. that is the preference, and the preference is to build coalitions as we have most of the times in the past. i think that president obama may be unintentionally or intentionally conveying the impression that we can never act alone. i don't think that is appropriate, given possible scenarios. i remember a certain candidate in 2008 pointing out that the democratic nominee was a neofight on foreign policy as indeed he was, based on the last couple of months do you think that this administration has learned lessons about the conduct of foreign policy? >> i do, and i have always believed that president obama is a quick study. i do believe we have, again, a philosophical difference in that the president believes, in my view, or his indications are we are kind of all the same, in other words, that he deemphasize

until the same way about panama. those are tangible signs that the united states is really engaged with our friends in the region. you talk about brazil. one of the things that brazil did -- i do not want to sound like a broken record -- they have the highest taxed to gdp ratio in the hemisphere and they have used that money to invest in social inclusion, to approve their education and health care system. and brazil is booming. we view it now as a real success story. other nations, like chile, have similarly had good leadership, good investments, and chile makes a free-trade agreement with everybody they can come including us. it benefits them and it benefits us. it provides an economic base of stability that allows democracy to floors. we're looking at how we can enhance security assistance to our friends in central america. we are using the american initiative to work with mexico. -- we are using the merida initiative to work with mexico. president calderon will be here soon. there is a bigger agenda for us to do a

grandmother, olive jackson, who came from jamaica, west indies, and with her husband albert went to panama and helped build in the teeming woods and forests of that era, fighting against malaria and mosquitoes and diseases and were part of building the panama canal. how my family -- grandmother kept the family together and gave birth to her first son an survived to be able to make it here to the united states and had children born in south carolina and made their way up and finally got to brooklyn, new york, and a part of the history of this country. she kept the family together. let me just call a roll if you don't mind, of some of the women from texas, please note there are many others, like mrs. johnson, the wife of lyndon baines johnson, who was so much involved in the beautification of texas, her daughter, lucy baynes johnson, her other daughter, linda robb johnson, and one who spoke about she would not see the constitution declined or diminished and that she believed that even though it did not include her when it started that this constitution means we the people, that's what this m

the colombia and panama agreements actually preceded the korea agreement, and we know, mr. speaker, that if we were to pass all three of these pending trade agreements, we could create good union, union and nonunion jobs here in this country in the manufacturing sectors of our economy. if you look at companies like caterpillar, john deere, whirlpool, other manufacturing companies right here in the united states, creating an opportunity for those union and nonworking union members to sell their products into latin america is very important. let's create jobs. let's pass all three of these agreements. with that i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from new mexico rise? the gentleman is recognized. mr. lujan: i rise today to pay tribute to marine corps pral joe silver shoot who passed away earlier this week at the age of 86. as a navajo code talker, corporal silver smith earned the silver congressional medal of honor for his service during world war ii when he answer

chile, uruguay and argentina are close behind, followed by mexico, panama, and colombia. the combined economies of latin america grew 6% last year. this dynamism, coupled with smart public policies promoting broadbased opportunity led the president of the inter-american development bank to call this the start of a latin america decade. the latin american economy is not far behind china and japan. that america has a future -- huge advantage that will serve it well in the coming decade, a young population. if the countries of the region succeed in delivering education for their young people, they will have a significant edge for years to come over other major economies that are starting to feel the strain of an aging population. the size of the latin american economy and its young demographics are especially important for the united states, because our economy is tied much more closely to the economies of our neighbors and to those across the oceans. 43% of all of our exports stay in the western hemisphere. we export more than three times as much to latin america than we do
