Remarks
by Agriculture Secretary Veneman
at the National Press Club |

Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman:
"Today, we export the product from one in every three
harvested acres from this country or a projected near-record $59
billion this year alone in export sales. Those exports solidly
underpin farm income and account for nearly 900,000 American
jobs, which pay better than average and are largely in rural
areas where they are sorely needed. Recognizing the importance
of market access to our agriculture and to our entire economy,
this Administration has embarked upon the most ambitious trade
agenda in our country’s history." (04/6/04) |
