Every U.S. president since 1974 has been granted authority by Congress to negotiate agreements with other nations to expand trade. At the end of June, the Bush administration¦s ability to negotiate such agreements and submit them to Congress for an up-or-down vote, known as Trade Promotion Authority, will expire. Advocates say trade agreements promote economic growth, while Democratic leaders in Congress have vowed not to renew TPA without tougher language requiring other countries to improve their labor and environmental standards. How reasonable are the objections to TPA renewal? How important is TPA to successful completion of the Doha Round in the World Trade Organization? A former Democratic congressman and key player in U.S. trade policy will join a Cato trade expert to examine the looming battle over TPA.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
