RE: TPP Statement -- CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK AT MY LAST EMAIL BEFORE RELEASING THIS

Jake has to respond to that point. * *Mandy Grunwald* *Grunwald Communications* *202 973-9400* ----- With John’s edit. Nick – if you are able to get her eyes on this, great. If not, we can let it go. * Holding. On Oct 7, 2015, at 2:29 PM, Jennifer Palmieri < *jpalmieri@hillaryclinton.com* <jpalmieri@hillaryclinton.com>> wrote: Hold please * Nope that's perfect.

I told PBS to hold till 345pm and that we would send the statement to our travelers after they put the news out (we should give them 15 minutes of breathing space). That work, Nick? We can move up PBS’ time if need be. * She likes it. "Short and sweet" was her feedback. So, we will release PBS imminently, and then I'll tee up and email to the travelers, correct?

But based on what I know so far, I can’t support this agreement. As I have said many times, we need to be sure that new trade deals meet clear tests: They have to create good American jobs, raise wages, and advance our national security. The bar has to be set very high for two reasons. First, too often over the years we haven’t gotten the balance right on trade. We’ve seen that even a strong deal, like our agreement with South Korea, which President Bush negotiated and President Obama improved, can fall short on delivering the promised benefits. So I don’t believe we can afford to keep giving new agreements the benefit of the doubt. The risks are too high that, despite our best efforts, they will end up doing more harm than good for hard-working American families whose paychecks have barely budged in years. Second, we can’t look at this in a vacuum. Years of Republican obstruction at home have weakened U.S. competitiveness and made it harder for Americans who lose jobs and pay because of trade to get back on their feet. Republicans have blocked the investments that we need and that President Obama has proposed in infrastructure, education, clean energy, and innovation. They’ve refused to raise the minimum wage or defend workers’ rights or adequately fund job training. As a result, America is less competitive than we should be, workers have fewer protections, and the negative effects of trade are exacerbated. That means even a generally strong trade agreement may put us at a disadvantage. We’re going into this with one arm tied behind our backs. I still believe a strong and fair trans-Pacific trade agreement is both possible and necessary, just as I did when I was Secretary of State. And I applaud the hard work that President Obama and his team have put into this process. But the bar here is very high and so far I don’t believe TPP has met it. <2015-10-07 TPP statement - 3pm.docx>
