    Hoffa Statement on Resigning from the President's Advisory Committee on Trade Policy and Negotiations PRNewswire
    June 24, 2004
    The Honorable George W. Bush
    President
    United States of America
    1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
    Washington, DC 20500

    Dear Mr. President:

    I write you today to tender my resignation from the President's Advisory Committee on Trade Policy and Negotiations (ACTPN).

    For quite some time, I have been uncomfortable being associated in any way with your Administration's full-fledged attack on workers' rights, social justice, and economic common sense. While I had hoped that the Teamsters could maintain some semblance of a working relationship with your administration through my service on ACTPN, your decision to sign the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) leaves me with no choice but to resign.
