  EXCHANGE OF LETTERS REGARDING IMPLEMENTATION OF UNITED STATES-KOREA 
 FREE TRADE AGREEMENT--MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES 
                          (H. DOC. NO. 112-61)

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following message 
from the President of the United States; which was read and, together 
with the accompanying papers, referred to the Committee on Ways and 
Means and ordered to be printed:

To the Congress of the United States:
  By separate message, I have transmitted to the Congress a bill to 
approve and implement the United States-Korea Free Trade Agreement. In 
that message, I highlighted new commitments that my Administration, in 
close coordination with the Congress, successfully negotiated to 
provide additional market access and a level playing field for American 
auto manufacturers and workers exporting to Korea.
  Herewith I am transmitting the letters exchanged between the United 
States and Korea that contain those commitments, which further enhance 
the most commercially significant trade agreement the United States has 
concluded in more than 17 years. The documents I have transmitted in 
these two messages constitute the entire United States-Korea trade 
agreement package.
                                                        Barack Obama.  
The White House, October 3, 2011.
