"Over the last several months, I have been pleased to work closely with my former colleagues on both sides of the aisle to lay the foundation for our trade agenda, including the Bahrain FTA."
"I want to especially thank Majority Whip Roy Blunt, Ways and Means Chairman Bill Thomas, Ways and Means Ranking Chairman Charlie Rangel, Representatives Ben Cardin, Paul Ryan and Greg Meeks. Each was instrumental in putting together a bipartisan consensus on the agreement and in rallying support for this agreement. We now look forward to swift passage in the Senate."
"This agreement also affirms our commitment to a growing, open Middle East region and President Bush's vision of a Middle East Free Trade Area. Many citizens in the United States and Bahrain depend on vibrant and growing trade for their jobs. And this U.S.-Bahrain FTA will only add to that number."
