Title 19 › Chapter CHAPTER 24— - BIPARTISAN TRADE PROMOTION AUTHORITY › § 3809
Summary
Giving trade promotion authority will probably make the main trade committees handle more work. Creating the Congressional Oversight Group under section 3807 will bring more members into making and checking U.S. trade policy, so those committees should have enough staff to deal with the extra work.

Customs Duties — Source: USLM XML via OLRC
The grant of trade promotion authority under this chapter is likely to increase the activities of the primary committees of jurisdiction in the area of international trade. In addition, the creation of the Congressional Oversight Group under section 3807 of this title will increase the participation of a broader number of Members of Congress in the formulation of United States trade policy and oversight of the international trade agenda for the United States. The primary committees of jurisdiction should have adequate staff to accommodate these increases in activities.
