Excerpt
Excerpt: Open trade fuels the engines of economic growth that create new jobs and new income. It applies the power of markets to the needs of the poor. It spurs the process of economic and legal reform. It helps dismantle protectionist bureaucracies that stifle incentive and invite corruption. And open trade reinforces the habits of liberty that sustain democracy over the long term.? In a letter to Congress dated May 10, President Bush outlined his 2001 legislative agenda for international trade. Topping his list was enactment of U.S. Trade Promotion Authority. The President also provided an outline of negotiating objectives to ?advance U.S. priorities.? These objectives include: reducing or eliminating tariffs and other barriers that impede U.S. exports; improving the transparency and management of international trade organizations and agreements; and helping developing countries realize the benefits of the international trading system.
