USA*Engage and NFTC Issue Biennial Congressional Report Card

USA*Engage and the National Foreign Trade Council (NFTC) yesterday released their Congressional Report Card on how members of the 109th Congress voted on key issues affecting trade, unilateral sanctions and global engagement.

The Report Card scored Senators on 12 trade-related votes and House Members on 14 trade-related votes, and weighted the vote on approval of CAFTA twice. Two House Members – Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Vic Snyder (D-AR) – received an A+ with the highest score of 14, while Senators Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Richard Lugar (R-IN) received an A+ with a score of 12. Three Senators and ten Representatives received a grade of F.

A complete copy of the Congressional Report Card, which includes a breakdown of the voting records and individual grades, can be found here.
