Text of Fast Track Sign-On Letter
March 29, 2007
The Honorable Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the House United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510
The Honorable Harry Reid
Majority Leader United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Majority Leader Reid and Speaker Pelosi,
Congratulations on your new leadership roles in the 110th Congress. As you
know, Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) or “Fast Track,” expires June 30,
2007. Our organizations and membership strongly oppose reauthorization of
Fast Track. We strongly urge you to not bring legislation granting new Fast
Track authority to President Bush to the floor during the 110th Congress
In recent history, Fast Track has only resulted in saddling the United
States with destructive and widely unpopular trade agreements such as the
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Central American Free Trade
Agreement (CAFTA) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). By its very
design, Fast Track cedes Congress’ constitutional power to regulate commerce
with foreign nations, removing vital checks and balances the Founders wisely
built into our Constitution to enable the body closest to the people – the
Congress – to set our nation’s trade policy.
We urge you to take all possible actions to ensure that the Bush
Administration is not provided with the authority to determine the direction
and terms of our nation’s engagement with the global economy. There is no
way to “fix” Fast Track, which only allows Congress any vote after
agreements’ contents are decided by the Executive Branch and entered into by
signing. Congress needs a new mechanism to authorize the Executive Branch to
conduct negotiations that gives Congress a steering wheel and, when
necessary, a brake, on the negotiation process. Fast Track’s expiration
provides an opportunity for the new Democratic Congress to end the
Administration’s disastrous trade agenda, and set a new course for trade
policy based on our shared commitment to justice, fairness, and democracy.
Again, we strongly oppose extending the President Trade Promotion Authority.
Additionally, our organizations and membership are very opposed to any
future NAFTA/CAFTA type trade agreements, such as those proposed or being
negotiated with Colombia, Peru, Panama and Korea. We stand ready to work
with your new majority to create a new process for negotiating trade
agreements that can result in agreements that meet our shared values. A new
progressive model for trade can help working Americans, our environment, and
our democracy thrive in this era of intensified globalization.
Sincerely,
