OK HR1024

Urges the Oklahoma Congressional Delegation to resist the passage and implementation of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a proposed regulatory and investment treaty between the United States and eleven Pacific Rim nations.

Opposes the "Investor-State Dispute Settlement" provision that would allow foreign corporations to sue the United States for damages over laws or regulations believed to reduce their future profits, with rulings decided by international arbitration panels rather than U.S. courts.

Objects to President Obama's request for Congressional approval under "Fast Track" procedural rules, which limit Congress' ability to review, debate, amend, and determine whether the TPP serves the best interests of the American people.

Contends that TPP approval would grant the President nearly unilateral power to make trade agreements with other nations with minimal congressional oversight or deliberation.

Directs distribution of the resolution to the Oklahoma Congressional Delegation.
