Korean Americans in New York have sent a letter to Senator Charles Schumer urging for the swift ratification of the South Korea-U.S. free trade agreement.

A steering committee of a local signature drive seeking the trade deal's ratification collected the signatures of over 13-hundred ethnic Koreans in the past month and included the list in a letter delivered to the New York senator on Wednesday.

In the letter, the Korean Americans said that the KORUS FTA will benefit the economy of both countries as well as the state of New York.

They hoped the senator will help President Barack Obama recognize the significance of the FTA.
