Levin Statement on Release of TPP Text

WASHINGTON, DC – Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) today issued the following statement after the Administration publicly released the text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement:

"TPP will impact our nation's economy, the lives of working families, and the shape of globalization. It is vital that we use this 90-day review period – established for the very purpose of evaluating the agreement before the President signs it – to dig into the details and engage in a vigorous back-and-forth. Ways and Means Democrats are taking the lead and setting up hearings and forums to review the merits, and the impact of each of the key issues."
