US Trade Representative Rob Portman Statement Praising Senate Action on Dorgan Amendment
09/15/2005
"With the strong bipartisan rejection of the Dorgan amendment today, the
Senate cast a vote in favor of the U.S. working
to knock down unfair trade barriers that hurt American business and
farmers"
"Our comprehensive trade agenda includes reforming unfair trade
practices. The Dorgan amendment would have
undermined those efforts to protect workers and also limited our
ability to open foreign markets to
U.S.
exports.
"I want to praise Senator Grassley and Senator Baucus for their strong
leadership on this critical vote."
