Margaret Holt meets with President Bush to discuss support of Trade Promotion Authority

WASHINGTON, D.C. August 2, 2001



Margaret Holt, president of The Holt Company, met with President Bush at the White House today to discuss her company’s role as an exporter and show her support for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) legislation pending before Congress.

Holt was invited to Washington as part of a group of women business owners whose firms export American products and services. The event was sponsored by The Business Roundtable.

TPA was in place from 1974 to 1994, under Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton. Each of these presidents used this authority to help expand U.S. economic growth and tear down foreign trade and investment barriers.

Since the expiration of TPA in 1994, the U.S. has fallen behind in negotiating trade agreements in foreign markets. Holt, whose company exports training programs and services, said the renewal of TPA is essential to the growth of her firm and thousands like it across the United States. “My company’s training programs are gaining popularity outside the United States. Exports like ours support over 12 million jobs in the United States,” said Holt. “I learned from the President that 97 percent of exporting companies are small-to-medium sized firms like mine.”

The Holt Company is a full-service corporate education firm serving Fortune 1000 corporations and law firms worldwide.
