that's what real u.s. -- ustr should be about. but we also need a partner. we need an administration that will lead on this issue. if i have an objection to this administration, it's that they don't lead on anything. they didn't send up a budget. well, the one thing they did failed 97-0, but they really have not taken it seriously, and they just wait for congress to act and for congress to do these things. well, that's what we elected the president to send up his approach to this. that's what we elected him for, and he ought to do that, but they don't for some reason. and we also need a partner. we need an administration that will lead on this issue. my amendment will hold the administration accountable until they achieve results, and that's why it's this administration or a successive administration. we are debating today which approach will better solve the chronic currency manipulation problem with china. my approach has been endorsed by the americans for tax reform who said that the hatch amendment -- quote -- "offers a sensible approach that utilizes th

i want to see ustr litigate on these and protect these policies. these aren't american protectionists. this isn't american protectionism. this is our civic ou our servinn interests as a nation against answering the protectionism that they've exhibited. every country in the world, mr. president, practices trade according to their national interests. too often in the united states, we practice trade according to a college economics textbook that's 20 years out of print. these two enforcement initiatives critical to my state and many others of my colleagues here will -- will absolutely matter.+ this amendment will ensure the ustr has the resources to investigate and to act on blatant unfair trade practices. trade is critical if we're going to compete in so many other industries that are in our states. i urge my colleagues to support the amendment. i applaud senator bingaman for his leadership on amendment 771. mr. president, i yield the floor and i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. r

it would fund ustr at $51,251,000. this year, that is the same level of funding that the president has in his budget request and also the same level of funding that has been arrived at in the house appropriation committee and their legislation. clearly, there is bipartisan support for this level of funding for the trade representative's office. last week, as all of us will remember, we sent to the president three new free trade agreements, and i supported those free trade agreements because they promised to open new markets for american businesses so that we can sell more goods that are produced here in the united states. however, if american businesses and workers are to benefit from trade agreements, the u.s. needs to do more to ensure our trading partners are competing fairly. this means we had to enforce the trade agreements and u.s. trade laws. right now, we are not providing enough resources to the trade representative's office for enforcement activities, in my view. the ustr's general counsel's office has 30 att

i would also alike to thank utah ustr negotiators who worked tirelessly and have had tra the wor -- to finally take advantage of the benefits of these agreements that our negotiators secured over four years ago. these countries maintain high tariff barriers to our exports, while most of their exports enter our market with little or no duty. approval of these three trade agreement will finally provide fair access for u.s. exporters. they will also alleviate the unfair advantage that many of our trade partners such as canada and the european union have gained in these growing markets while we stood still and failed to act. finally, approval -- >> the trade agreements created any jobs. >> i'd alike to advise the public that disruptions in the form of signs or outbursts will not be tolerated. and if they continue i'm going to have to ask the committee to stand in recess until the recess -- until the order can be restored here in this hearing. i think it's preferable that those who have different points of view stay, but i think it's preferable that those who stay do not indulge in outburst

after 360 days of failure to adopt a appropriate policy, the ustr the trade representative is required to request dispute settlement in the world trade organization with the government responsible for the misaligned currency. now, congress is on record in support of fighting currency manipulation. in 2007, a majority of senators went on record supporting a currency manipulation bill that was brought up as an amendment to a state department reauthorization bill. that bill would have imposed tariffs on chinese imports to compensate for currency manipulation by china but it was withdrawn by a sponsor in exchange for a prompt to develop and vote on a w.t.o.-compliant bill. well the pending bill is a w.t.o.-compliant bill. the last congress, the house of representatives passed a bill, h.r. 2378, the currency reform for fair trade act. now, that narrower currency manipulation bill made it clear that the department of commerce was to fight the illegal subbization of u.s. currency by use countervailing duty laws. unfortunately, t the senate ran out of time and we did not take up the bill. s. 1

it requires the treasury department and ustr to report to congress every 180 days following enactment of this bill. in these reports, the administration must identify, one, the countries with which the united states is conducting negotiations to mitigate the adverse effects of and in what international fora those negotiations are taking place; two, the remedial rules and actions under discussion in those negotiations; three, any remedial rules that have been adopted and any remedial actions that have been taken pursuant to those negotiations; and, four, what, if any, additional authority the secretary or the u.s. trade representative needs from congress to conduct these negotiations and to effectively mitigate the adverse trade and economic effects of fundamentally misaligned currencies or to implement coordinated actions with other countries. finally, my amendment sets up a process to immediately take advantage of ongoing international trade negotiations by establishing a new priority negotiating objective of the united states for ongoing and future trade agreements. this new objecti

i commend the ustr team that's been assembled in the obama administration taking the three trade agreements from prior negotiate by the bush administration and made them better. there was some serious concerns a special on the side of the aisle in to what was initially negotiated, the administration recognizes when all three countries, and i think improved drastically, put them in a position now where many of us feel much more comfortable supporting. and including colombia. i share the concerns that many of my colleagues on this i do, and the level of violence with labor leaders in particular. that's an issue that needs to be addressed. however, i think the labor action plan that was negotiated that is now being implemented, is a huge step forward. and unlike our ranking member who played an instrumental role in making sure that labor action plan was in place and is moving forward, i don't share his concern that it was vitally important about it as part of the bulk of the agreement. mr. reif, let me ask him all lot of what's in the plans already in process, already being implemented. are we

i would like to submit for the record a letter from ambassador kirk which outlines detail of ustr's intend related to provision of trade remedies, the trade remedies chapter in the south korean agreements. and it's something i think everybody on this committee wants to make sure is part of the record. >> without objection. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i yield back. >> thank you. mr. mcdermott is recognized. >> mr. pascrell. >> thank you, mr. chairman. before i get into my line of questioning, i want to say that this legislation is very much better than the original legislation even with korean trade. there's some great things in this legislation dealing with technology products, pharmaceuticals, tremendously improved that would help my state in that area, as well as other states. but let me get down to my major contention. with this piece of legislation. and that is one of the few areas of the economy that have been improving over the last nine, 10 months is the manufacturing sector. we abandoned small manufacturers in this country. democratic presidents and republican presidents. and many

they key, you had two jobs at ustr internet commerce and you were heavily involved in the passage of. tommy the effect that had on the economy. >> thanks, sir. i'm just happy to be here. first of all, when jean is throwing the campaign and 91, we both were over six feet tall. i just want you to know that. last night so if any of you want to be short in stature, just work for bill clinton. first of all, i am so grateful to be a kid with my colleagues who i admire so much and learned so much from. you couldn't gather a finer group of people in one room with the exception of the other. and i'm grateful that. second, and really grateful and bruce lindsey will understand this. after 32 years of friendship, you have two sit and listen to me. [laughter] [applause] let me just add the platform laid out by both channels that's so impressive. we were going to engage if you look at the georgetown speeches, all three of them, which the opportunity covenant community of course but engagement, the new world, globalization we had to take could manage. they're a number of ways to do it. first of all

the majority of our ustr is focused on creating jobs but not in forcing them. it is important for our businesses and workers to have a level playing field. the bottom line for me is that we want to export our products and not our jobs. thanks very much. >> senator menendez. >> thank you. i want to first thank you for your tireless commitment to ensuring that the extension of trade adjustment assistance, as we're talking about these trade agreements, that that in fact is moving forward for americans who lose jobs as a result of trade. while the argument has been made that these fta's may create 70,000 american jobs, the benefit of trade are not uniform or not everyone will benefit from these agreements. i find it morally wrong to look at an american and say, simply because of our trade agreement, if you happen to be the victim of economic displacement, and you are on your run. that -- you are on you own. i appreciate the chairman making that a reality. it reflects the complexity of trade policy and the need to take care of our own hard- working americans who may

but i commend the obama administration and the team at ustr led by ambassador kirk with the work they did in improving this panama trade agreement along with colombia and south korea putting them in position where there can be bipartisan support and more importantly to get us back into the arena of active trade which will help create jobs here at home. i thank you and i yield back. the speaker: the gentleman's time has expired. who yields time? the gentleman from ohio. mr. kucinich: i yield three minutes to the distinguished the gentlelady from maine, a -- the distinguished gentlelady from maine, ms. pingree. the speaker: the gentlelady from maine is recognized for three minutes. ms. pingree: thank you to my friend and colleague from ohio for yielding this time. mr. speaker, i rise in opposition to the proposed trade agreement. the panama free trade agreement is structured exactly like nafta, a trade policy that resulted in the loss of millions of manufacturing jobs all over america. . in maine alone we have lost 31,000 manufacturing jobs since nafta was ratified in 1994. in addition
