WASHINGTON, Oct. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Chairman and CEO of Ernst & Young James S. Turley, today released the following statement:

"As a member of the President's Export Commission (PEC), I applaud the President's actions yesterday formally submitting free trade agreements with Colombia, Korea, and Panama to the Congress for consideration.
