This is about oversight, and what the Majority is doing is losing sight of the needs of tens of thousands of workers in this country. What they are doing is overlooking the needs of the workers of this country.

Our committee has jurisdiction over trade adjustment and what's happened this week regarding Trade Adjustment Assistance is really incomprehensible and I think disgraceful. This Congress is going to leave town tomorrow. On Saturday the extension of TAA expires -- the 2009 extension. And what's going to happen: tens of thousands of people laid off because of trade will no longer be able to be certified. Tens of thousands. They will be out of luck when they hit bad luck through no fault of their own.
