Opposition in Congress</a> </span></h1>

<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">March 23 (BNA) - Two letters released today and yesterday indicate that the Obama administration has a daunting challenge in convincing Congress to support the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade
pact.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Today, 19 members of the New York congressional delegation, led by Reps. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) and Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.), sent a
<a href="http://src.bna.com/dwJ" target="_BLANK">letter</a> to President Barack Obama opposing the TPP. The agreement will cost jobs, particularly manufacturing jobs, in New York and the country as a whole, especially since it has no effective measures to address
currency manipulation by U.S. trading partners, the lawmakers said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and 18 Democratic Senate colleagues sent a
<a href="http://src.bna.com/dwG" target="_BLANK">letter</a> to U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman yesterday expressing their concerns about unfulfilled labor reforms among TPP members. They requested that the administration hold off on submitting legislation
to implement the trade deal until Malaysia, Vietnam and Brunei enact the necessary reforms.</span></p>
