This important legislation is a small step towards a big reward. Without it the United States exporters and Service Providers will continue to lose business to our foreign competitors that have already have trade relations relationships with russia. And once we lose those markets, our competitors will only become stronger and better positioned to surpass the u. S. In a critical marketplace of the 21st Century Global economy. According to the National Association of manufacturers, russia imported over 500 billion in goods last year, and of that total only 5 came from u. S. Exports. This bill will lift outdated policies and restrict american access to russian markets. As a result studies show u. S. Producers can expect to achieve doubledigit increases over the next decade in exports of heavy machinery, agricultural machinery, chemicals, and services. This is particularly critical for my home state of illinois where we have fallen behind japan and korea in these export categories. Most im

Is the celebration there continuing where you are . Reporter it is. Although the crowds have tapered off a little bit. But it is pretty incredible when you look at the street down below us and compare it to what the situation was like 24 hours ago, when you would hardly see a Single Person outside and most of the shops were shut.

Countrys leadership at least, under the president , will wake up. Stop hurting the freedomloving egyptians that dont want the radical islamists support in egypt, back in charge of egypt. Dont help isis in syria. Dont help them in iraq. And if he had just signed the status of forces agreement that president bush had all but ready to sign, getting cute with that, so it fell apart, then we wouldnt be having all these problems today in iraq and syria hat we are. Hes getting horrible advice and its time for the to the take a hard look at who he really gets advice from, because the moderate muslims in the world dont want radical islam taking over and they dont, as theyve told me privately, like the people that this president has advising him.
