              UNITED STATES-MEXICO-CANADA TRADE AGREEMENT

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement 
will be a very big boon to the American worker. In my State, one out of 
every four American manufacturing firms export to Canada and Mexico. 
Seventy percent of these are very small or medium-sized businesses. 
More than 25,400 Iowans depend on manufacturing jobs.
  By encouraging auto manufacturers to use more U.S. content in our 
cars and high-wage labor, the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement will help 
American workers compete on a level playing field and benefit from 
selling to two of our largest trading partners.
