Speaker Boehner Statement on Pending Free Trade Agreements

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) released the following statement after Senate leaders agreed to a process for consideration on the three pending Free Trade Agreements:

“Upon reaching a path forward for the three pending Free Trade Agreements in the Senate, Senate leaders have cleared an important hurdle. Expanding markets for U.S. small businesses is a critical component of the Republican Plan for America's Job Creators, and further delay of these job-creating trade bills is unacceptable. I look forward to the House passing the FTAs, in tandem with separate consideration of TAA legislation, as soon as possible.”
