The Benefits of Trade with South Korea

April 7, 2011
Dave Reichert, a long-time, vocal advocate for free trade, has led the fight in Congress in his role on the House Ways & Means Committee, the Trade subcommittee, and as a member of the Trade Working Group to urge the passage of pending free trade agreements with Korea, Colombia, and Panama. Reichert founded the bipartisan U.S.-Korea FTA Working Group to broaden support for the agreement, and teamed up with Adam Smith (WA-09) to garner the bipartisan support of 88 Members of Congress in urging the Obama Administration to bring the U.S.-South Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS FTA) before Congress for consideration.
