Hon. J. Dennis Hastert,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Speaker: Consistent with section 2105(a)(1)(A) of 
the Trade Act of 2002, (Public Law 107-210; the ``Trade Act''), 
I am pleased to notify the Congress of my intention to enter 
into a free trade agreement with the Republic of Peru.
    The United States-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement will 
generate export opportunities for U.S. farmers, ranchers, and 
companies, help create jobs in the United States, and help 
American consumers save money while offering them more choices. 
The Agreement will also benefit the people of Peru by providing 
economic opportunity and by strengthening democracy.
    Consistent with the Trade Act, I am sending this 
notification at least 90 days in advance of signing the 
Agreement. My Administration looks forward to working with the 
Congress in developing appropriate legislation to approve and 
implement this Agreement.
            Sincerely,
                                                    George W. Bush.
