I do want to say I agree with the original remarks in your opening statement that as a trading nation our economic success is very important to help invest in our social programs and maintain a high quality of life.
As you know, this committee has currently undertaken an initiative to look at the South Korea free trade agreement specifically, and this is a study that's currently taking place here in committee. With respect to quality of life, the number one concern that many people have whenever we enter into a negotiation is the economic impact of that free trade agreement, specifically the impact on jobs.
Have you done an analysis or do you have an economic model that indicates the number of jobs that would be lost and created if a free trade agreement were struck? If you have such an analysis, can you indicate how the data was created? Was it based on 2006 levels, 2005 levels, and how were you able to determine those numbers?
