(Washington D.C.)- Rep. Sander Levin issued the following statement about the Ways and Means Trade Committee Chair assignment.
“The election of Barack Obama provides an opportunity to accelerate much needed change to U.S. trade policy. Congressional Democrats articulated new trade policies while in the minority and began to implement some of these policies once in the Majority after 2006.
“A 21st century trade policy embraces the expansion of international trade as an essential component of globalization and requires that the terms of trade be actively shaped to spread more broadly its benefit and minimize its downsides and that the rules of competition be vigorously enforced.
“I look forward to serving as the Chair of the Ways and Means Trade Subcommittee and working with my colleagues, and with USTR designate Ron Kirk and the Obama Administration to bring fully up to date a strong and proactive U.S. trade policy that creates new opportunities for workers, farmers and businesses, and ensures that the rules of trade are fair, enforced and responsive to globalization.”
