Birmingham, AL (PRWEB) February 20, 2014
Altec’s Chairman and CEO, Lee Styslinger III, announced today his support of bipartisan Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) legislation and asked that Congress and President Obama work toward quick passage of the bill.
Styslinger is a member of the Trade Benefits America Coalition, a broad-based group of U.S. business leaders who are encouraging Congress and the Obama Administration to move TPA legislation forward in an expedited manner. Congress last enacted TPA in 2002, and it expired in 2007.
"We support the position that President Obama shared in his State of the Union address on the critical importance of Trade Promotion Authority and the positive impact it will have on job creation and economic growth in the U.S.," said Styslinger. "TPA will help open foreign markets to American goods and services. We call on Congress and the President to work together so that America can negotiate and put in place trade agreements that eliminate unfair trade barriers and level the playing field for goods manufactured in the U.S."
Styslinger was a key member of George W. Bush's Export Council and was responsible for advising the President on government policies and programs that affect U.S. trade performance and export expansion opportunities.
