via Giovanni Montelli Congress Not Being Informed On TPP Negotiations Or Any Other Free Trade Agreements???? If any Congressional member says they are not, they are being blatantly disingenuous. Since its creation, the USTR (United States Trade Representative), has maintained close consultation with Congress. Five members from each House are formally appointed under statute as official Congressional advisors on trade policy, and additional members may be appointed as advisors on particular issues or negotiations. Liaison activities between the agency and Congress are extensive. USTR provides detailed briefings on a regular basis for the Congressional Oversight Group, a new organization composed of members from a broad range of congressional committees. In addition, USTR officials and staff participate in hundreds of congressional conversations each year on subjects ranging from tariffs to textiles.
