Who Are the Real Free Traders in Congress?

POLICY FORUM
Monday, March 26, 2001
11:00 a.m.

Featuring Rep. Jim DeMint, (R-S.C.); Gerald Seib, The Wall Street Journal; Dan Griswold, Cato Institute.

Rayburn House Office Building, Room B-338

Who in Congress supports international trade and rejects market-distorting barriers and subsidies? In a comprehensive survey of votes in the 106th Congress, the Cato Institute names the 26 House members who voted most consistently against trade barriers, such as steel quotas and repealing normal trade relations with China, and against subsidies, such as those for the Export-Import Bank. Rep. Jim DeMint will be present to explain why such members reject the pro-subsidy internationalism of the former Clinton administration and the anti-trade isolationism of Pat Buchanan.
