On July 7, 2011, Rep. Mike Thompson offered an amendment to the Colombia Free Trade Agreement implementing bill that would provide funding for a national floral transportation and distribution center for U.S. cut flower shipments. A new floral shipping center would reduce the costs of shipment by 20-40 percent and improve the overall efficiency of the cut flower transportation system. The Congressman withdrew the amendment after the Obama Administration committed to addressing this issue.
