Reid: Export-Import Bank Helps American Companies Succeed In Global Economy, Hire Workers Here At Home
from Senate Democrats by aaron
Washington, D.C. – Nevada Senator Harry Reid spoke on the Senate floor today regarding Republican amendments that would weaken the Export-Import Bank. Below are his remarks as prepared for delivery:

I am pleased Democrats and Republicans reached an agreement to move forward with reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank.

The Bank helps American companies sell their products overseas and hire workers here at home.

It helped private companies add almost 300,000 jobs in more than 2,000 American communities last year.

That’s why labor groups, manufacturers and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have urged the Senate to move quickly to reauthorize the Bank, which expires at the end of the month.
