Last week, 14 major textile and apparel exporting countries, including the United States, insisted that textiles receive special consideration by the WTO as part of the Doha Round. At the same time, 44 U.S. congressmen sent a letter to Ambassador Schwab notifying the U.S. government that they would oppose any WTO solution that did not include an effective textile sectoral.

The combined U.S. textile and apparel sector still employs nearly one million workers in the United States. The U.S. textile industry is the world's third largest exporter, with more than $16 billion in textile exports last year.
