WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Sixty-seven freshmen Republican lawmakers swept into office with help from the Tea Party movement told President Barack Obama on Tuesday they wanted to work with him to approve long-delayed trade deals with South Korea, Panama and Colombia.

"We are committed to working with you to develop a comprehensive trade agenda. We believe the first step in that process is to move forward on our agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea without delay," the lawmakers said in a letter.
