Feb. 26 Might Be Kirk's Day

By CONGRESSDAILY STAFF

The Senate Finance Committee could hold a hearing a week from today on the nomination of former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk to be U.S. Trade Representative, sources said. The panel has not formally scheduled a hearing yet, but it was expected to move on Kirk's nomination shortly after finishing work on the economic stimulus package. The hearing is expected to provide some clues into President Obama's trade policy, which has taken a backseat to the stimulus. Kirk's record of support for free-trade deals such as the North American Free Trade Agreement could be an issue with some members of the labor movement. Panel members are likely to grill Kirk on the Obama administration's intentions with regard to pending and proposed trade agreements as well as enforcement issues, such as China's currency devaluation.

It is good to hear that the Senate Finance Committee was expected to move on Kirk’s nomination after completing the economic stimulus package. Hope the expectation of the Committee will bring something better to all and the issues related to Kirk’s record will also sort out as early as possible. Thanks for this informative blog.
