TAPP Signs Letter Urging the International Trade Commission to Process Nominees

TAPP joins seventeen other organizations in sending a letter to Chairman Ron Wyden and Ranking Member Mike Crapo urging them to process the following bipartisan slate of qualified nominees to fill critical vacancies and an expired term on the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC):

• William Patrick J. Kimmitt (Republican), for a term expiring June 16, 2029

• James Bernard Coughlan (Democrat), for a term expiring December 16, 2030

• Halie L. Craig (Republican), for a term expiring June 16, 2026

The letter said, in part, “The three nominees currently before the Senate Finance Committee have all been vetted and nominated due to their qualifications across all aspects of international trade law and policy. This presents a well-timed opportunity for the Senate to make progress in filling the USITC’s vacancies and expired terms. We therefore urge you to process these nominations as soon as possible.”
