Brown Statement On House Peru Trade Agreement Vote

November 8, 2007

Washington, DC – U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) released the following statement on the House of Representative’s vote on the Peru Trade Agreement:

"I am disappointed that the House passed another job-killing trade agreement that will result in more unsafe food in our kitchens and consumer products in our children's bedrooms. We need a strategic pause from NAFTA-modeled free trade agreements. We must help workers and businesses by passing strong currency and trade enforcement legislation. We must develop a new model for negotiating trade deals. We want trade, and more of it. But we want fair trade."
