Quote	"Results of existing trade agreements have demonstrated that trade liberalization is sound policy for the U.S. economy. Western Hemisphere countries participating in free-trade agreements with us have experienced strong economic growth, job creation and poverty reduction. For these countries, fiscal stability has improved; reducing reliance on foreign assistance has allowed stable financial markets to emerge, increasing the availability of credit for consumer goods and housing."
