Library of Congress Summary
The summary below was written by the Congressional Research Service, which is a nonpartisan division of the Library of Congress.
2/15/2013--Introduced.
Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the United States and the European Union (EU) would:
(1) create significant good-paying jobs for American workers, ranchers, and farmers;
(2) open new opportunity for U.S. companies to sell their goods and services in the EU; and
(3) further bond the economies of Europe and the United States and give rise to a dominant economic alliance that would strongly influence other nations toward market-based economies.
Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the President should promptly notify Congress of his intention to enter into negotiations with the EU for a comprehensive Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership and, as soon as possible after giving such notice, to initiate such negotiations.
House Republican Conference Summary
The summary below was written by the House Republican Conference, which is the caucus of Republicans in the House of Representatives.
No summary available.
House Democratic Caucus Summary
The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.
So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.
We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
