        PROVIDING NEW EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL AMERICANS

  (Mr. GUEST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUEST. Madam Speaker, today, President Trump signed the historic 
United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement and fulfilled a campaign 
promise to modernize trade with two of our largest trading partners.
  The USMCA is projected to generate $68 billion in new economic 
activity and create over 175,000 new jobs for hardworking Americans.
  President Trump and Republicans fought to complete the USMCA on 
behalf of American farmers, ranchers, manufacturers, and small business 
owners.
  As a rural State with strong agricultural, manufacturing, and 
business sectors, Mississippi stands to benefit greatly from this 
agreement by expanding markets for high-quality Mississippi poultry and 
livestock and hundreds of manufacturing products.
  This trade agreement will provide a boost to our economy that has 
grown significantly under Republican leadership and is another example 
of free market economic principles at work to provide new employment 
opportunities for all Americans.
