                              TPA AND TPP

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PETE SESSIONS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I believe that our friends on the other 
side of the aisle are not opposed to job creation, Congressional 
oversight and global economic prosperity. But I predict they will 
unfortunately choose unions and outside groups over giving assistance 
to their own workers when a trade package comes before this body. So, 
because of that, for the first time in half a century, they will let 
this policy that is so important to their party expire.
  While I predict that TPA will pass, it will be a shame if the whole 
package isn't enacted due to the failure of this President to work with 
members of his own party.
