Smith, who realize that the best way to stimulate our economy is to open new markets for American goods," said Michael Petricone, CEA senior vice president of government affairs. "This kind of leadership is what we need to create jobs, and support U.S. businesses. International trade drives our economy. In Rep. Smith's state of Washington alone, 11.8 percent of the economy results from consumer electronics exports. "We also agree with Rep.
