                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. KEVIN BRADY

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, January 4, 2017

  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Calman 
Cohen on his retirement after a distinguished and productive career. 
Dr. Cohen built on his public service at the Office of the U.S. Trade 
Representative and the Senate by leading the Emergency Committee for 
American Trade for many years, an organization of leading U.S. 
companies with a mission to support economic growth through the 
expansion of international trade and investment. He has effectively 
represented his member companies by working with Members of Congress 
and many Administrations on a broad range of trade and investment 
issues, including all major trade agreements during his tenure as well 
as Trade Promotion Authority. He has vigorously defended the needs of 
U.S. companies and their employees as they strive to compete in today's 
global marketplace, achieve market access for their exports, and create 
jobs here at home.
  I send my best wishes to him, and his wife Susan, who is always by 
his side, during his retirement.

                          ____________________
