The purpose of this informational briefing is a presentation by Mr. Peter Riggs, Director of the Forum on Democracy & Trade entitled "What's at Stake for States in the Trade Debate?" Mr. Riggs will discuss how U.S. trade commitments open up new opportunities for States, but also impact States' regulatory powers. In his presentation, Mr. Riggs will address:

The Forum on Democracy & Trade is a nonprofit organization that provides legal and technical assistance, and networking support, to State legislators and other public officials working on trade issues in their jurisdictions. The Forum is pro-trade and pro-democracy, dedicated to ensuring that States can use trade to advance economic development while safeguarding local authority.
