	Trade Act of 1979 (S.1376- H.R.4537)
		This Act granted further powers to the presidency to negotiate and reduce tariffs and allowed for the government to enter into agreements for the reduction and elimina- tion of non-tariff barriers, provided implementing legislation was approved by both houses of Congress.
		As mentioned previously, this section follows the trend set in former Trade Acts of this country and strengthens the office of the presidency with regard to determining retaliatory measures to be used against countries which, in the executive branch's opinion, are violating the agreements.
		The basic conclusions of advocates of the 1979 Trade Act are that the general philosphy and thrust of the purpose of the negotiations as stated in the general overview on each section of the bill were achieved.

	reciprocal trade agreement - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		The use of the most-favored-nation clause after 1922 resulted in a widespread exchange of tariff concessions; it was followed by the Trade Agreements Act (1934).
		The Trade Expansion Act (1962) provided for negotiations, under GATT auspices, to expand reciprocal trade agreements, especially with the European Economic Community, or Common Market (now part of the European Union).
		The act resulted in the Kennedy Round (1964-67) and the Tokyo Round (1974-79) of GATT talks, which produced reciprocal tariff reductions, mainly between the United States and W Europe, and new rules on customs and duties.

		The TAA program was created by the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and expanded through the Trade Act of 1974, which established that workers were eligible for weekly cash assistance, or "trade readjustment allowances" (TRAs), if import competition had "contributed importantly" to their job loss.

	HR 3009 Andean Trade Preference Expansion Act sent on 05/08/2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Renewal and expansion of the Andean trade preference program are high priorities for the Administration, as the proposed ATPA represents a critical intersection of our trade and anti-narcotics policies.
		While increased trade will generate significant benefits for American workers, the Administration believes that solid TAA programs are vital for responding to the adjustment challenges that trade can create.
		The expansions in the Daschle Substitute severely distort the primary purpose of the programs and hinder the ability of workers legitimately affected by trade to receive the assistance they need.

	Outline of Presentation to Pacific Northwest International Trade Association
		But the promise of freer trade for America's workers was that it would fuel economic growth, create more jobs and generate more wealth…that all workers would share in that wealth…even if some would be displaced and have to be retrained for other jobs.
		After the Trade Expansion Act was passed in 1962, there began a steady decline in the balance of trade -- from trade surplus to trade deficit.
		Remember, when we started down this path, the goals of freer trade were to foster economic growth…to generate more wealth and a fair share of that wealth for the workers who produce it… who would participate equally in a growing economy with the opportunity for better jobs and better pay.

		In the current state of international affairs with one superpower ready to use all its political, economic and miltary might to get what it wants, talk of "free trade" is deeply misleading and disingenuous.
		A major objective of the WTO, NAFTA, and the proposed FTAA is to extend the enforcement of patents, copyrights, and other “intellectual property rights” beyond the borders of the wealthy countries where they are owned.
		Trade between individuals, between states, between nations is beneficial, and far from reducing the living standards of the participants, greatly improves them.

	ANDEAN TRADE PREFERENCE EXPANSION ACT--Continued (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		In the past, when free trade and fair trade have been treated as mutually exclusive, import-sensitive industries in Maine and America were decimated by foreign competitors.
		And two other Maine industries--the import-sensitive salmon acquaculture industry that was the target of dumping by Chile, and the rubber footwear industry that's been severely impact by past trade agreements--stand to benefit from commitments I've received from the administration to stand firm on antidumping laws and to negotiate aggressively on their behalf in future agreements.
		The adoption of this comprehensive package will ensure that trade agreements will be pursued in a fair and balanced manner to the benefit of all Americans while also recognizing the need for expanded assistance for those who lose their jobs due to trade, and I urge its adoption.
