Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you to both witnesses for being here.
Mr. Heidrich, we know that the U.S. is Honduras' biggest trade partner, and we know that they have had a free trade agreement with Honduras since 2006—that's eight years. We're approaching a time, almost a decade, where I think we can start making some analysis of the impacts of that agreement. Have Honduras' poverty rates, institutional integrity, governance structures, rule of law, or the welfare of its people improved demonstrably over that last eight years as a result of the U.S. free trade agreement?
