109TH CONGRESS 
1ST SESSION H. R. 4407 
To prohibit the entry into any bilateral or regional trade agreement, and 
to prohibit negotiations to enter into any such agreement, for a period 
of 2 years. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
NOVEMBER 18, 2005 
Mr. KILDEE introduced the following bill; which was referred to the 
Committee on Ways and Means 
A BILL 
To prohibit the entry into any bilateral or regional trade 
agreement, and to prohibit negotiations to enter into 
any such agreement, for a period of 2 years. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds the following: 
(1) Current and pending trade agreements and 
partnerships between the United States and other 
countries have not been in the best interest of 
United States workers, small businesses, or farmers, 
the economy, or the environment.
(2) Current and pending trade agreements and 
partnerships between the United States and other 
countries have not significantly raised the living and 
environmental standards in those countries. 
(3) It is in the mutual interest of the United 
States and its trading partners to enter into trade 
agreements and partnerships that expand markets, 
raise living standards, and protect the environment. 
(4) Current trade agreements have forced 
American workers, small businesses, and farmers to 
compete on an uneven playing field with those in 
other countries with which the United States has a 
trade agreement or partnership. 
(5) In 2004, the United States had a record 
trade deficit of $617,000,000,000 in goods and serv-
ices. 
(6) China and Japan continue to manipulate 
their currencies without any significant pressure 
from the United States Government to stop these 
practices, which have already caused severe damage 
to industries and workers in the United States. 
(7) Increased trade deficits are harmful to the 
economy of the United States and the value of the 
dollar.
(8) United States trade policies have had a dev-
astating impact on the manufacturing sector in the 
United States; an estimated 2,800,000 manufac-
turing jobs in the United States have been lost since 
2001. 
(9) A strong and vibrant domestic manufac-
turing sector is vital to national security and many 
other domestic industries. 
SEC. 2. TERMINATION OF AUTHORITY TO NEGOTIATE AND 
ENTER 
INTO 
BILATERAL 
OR 
REGIONAL 
TRADE AGREEMENTS. 
Upon the enactment of this Act, the President, not-
withstanding the Bipartisan Trade Promotion Authority 
Act of 2002 or any other provision of law— 
(1) may not enter into any bilateral or regional 
trade agreement; and 
(2) may not engage in any negotiations to enter 
into any bilateral or regional trade agreement, and 
shall terminate any such negotiations that are ongo-
ing at the time this Act is enacted. 
SEC. 3. SUNSET. 
This Act shall cease to be effective at the end of the 
2-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of 
this Act.

(6) To the enemy’s frustration, the code devel-
oped by these Native American Indians proved to be

past, was instrumental in developing one of the most 
significant and successful military codes of World

instrumental in winning the war in Europe. Their 
efforts saved countless lives.
