WASHINGTON – House Rules Committee Chairwoman Louise Slaughter issued the following statement today, following a meeting at the White House to discuss trade issues. Slaughter was one of 12 lawmakers invited to meet with President Obama to review the Administration’s recent trade-oriented meetings in Asia and ongoing negotiations on the Korea Free Trade Agreement.
“Today was a constructive and positive meeting to review what I see as a flaw in our current trade policies. I believe we can work toward a better agreement that will accomplish what we all want: creating jobs for Americans and opening markets. That said, I’m glad that President Obama stood forcefully last week against a flawed Free Trade Agreement with Korea drafted by the last Administration. A bad deal is not better than no deal at all. The existing Korea FTA does not provide reciprocal market access for U.S. companies – which should be the starting point for anything we sign. I hope that we use this meeting as a first step for a better trade policy and stand ready and willing to work collaboratively toward that end.” |

Congresswoman Louise M. Slaughter (NY-28), Chairwoman of the House Committee on Rules, announced more than $11 million in local defense funding that will directly benefit Western New York.
The federal funding came from the Defense Appropriations Bill that will fund local projects ensuring rapid detection of biological agents in the battlefield, development of technology for faster and more maneuverable helicopters and go towards the development of electric-only ships and submarines for the U.S. Navy.
“I’m so pleased to have secured more than $11 million for some of the area’s strongest institutions,” said Slaughter. “Western New York has a proud tradition of supplying our military with the tools and equipment they need. What is particularly rewarding is the role Roswell Park, CUBRC, and Hauptman-Woodward are playing in providing necessary medical research that is needed to prevent biological dangers in combat and better understand post-wound infections caused by bacteria.”
