TRADE
Mr. WYDEN. Mr. President, I listened carefully to the remarks of the
Senate majority leader, and I believe the majority leader's statement
provides potential--potential--to find the bipartisan common ground on
trade that we found in the Senate Finance Committee. In the Senate
Finance Committee, we passed the Bipartisan Congressional Trade
Priorities and Accountability Act of 2015 by a 20-to-6 vote and the
Trade Adjustment Assistance Act of 2015 by a 17-to-9 vote. We passed a
robust trade enforcement measure and package of trade preferences by
voice vote.
Respectfully, I hope that the majority leader would take this morning
to work with those on my side of the aisle who are supportive of trade
to find a similar bipartisan approach to ensure that all four of the
measures I have described are actually enacted.
I yield the floor.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from California.
