DAILY GUIDANCE AND PRESS SCHEDULE FOR

FRIDAY, MAY 8, 2015

In the morning, the President will attend an event held at Nike headquarters to discuss how workers will benefit from progressive, high-standards trade agreements that would open up new markets and support high-quality jobs both for Oregon small businesses and large companies like Nike. The President will also make the case that strong bipartisan trade promotion legislation – introduced last month by Senators Ron Wyden and Orrin Hatch – is an important step to ensure our trade policy works for the middle class through strong enforcement provisions, transparency, and the requirement that our trade agreements include high-standards to bring greater opportunity to American businesses, level the playing field for American workers, protect the environment, and raise human rights and labor standards around the world. The President’s remarks are open to pre-credentialed media.

Afterward, the President will depart Portland, Oregon en route Watertown, South Dakota. The departure from the Oregon Air National Guard Base and the arrival at Watertown Regional Airport are open to pre-credentialed media.

In South Dakota, the President will deliver the commencement address for the graduating class at Lake Area Technical Institute. Lake Area Technical Institute is one of the top community colleges in the nation, and is recognized for rigorously preparing its students with the skills they need to compete in the 21st Century economy. With a two-year graduation rate more than twice the national average, Lake Area Technical Institute focuses on providing its graduates smooth pathways to high skilled careers with private-sector businesses. The President’s remarks arepooled for TV and open to pre-credentialed stills and correspondents.

Following these remarks, the President will depart South Dakota en route Washington, DC. The departure from Watertown, South Dakota is open to pre-credentialed media, and the arrival on the South Lawn is open press.
