respect to the initial TPP meeting in March, we believe that it is critical
that the countries interested in participating in TPP talks understand that
there are certain terms that must be and must not be included in any future U.S
trade agreement for it to obtain public and thus congressional support.
Establishing early on that there will be a new Obama administration approach to
TPP negotiations is especially critical, considering the Bush administration
initiated <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region>
involvement in the TPP in February 2008. They participated in three negotiating
rounds, presumably following the past <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region> trade agreement model opposed
by many congressional Democrats, our organizations and according to polling
data, a majority of Americans.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
