Bush to circumvent Congress on Colombia FTA?
From Todd Tucker @ Eyes on Trade: Just before the break, Inside U.S. Trade reported that the Bush administration is internally debating whether to submit the Colombia FTA to Congress without the consent of the Democratic leadership. Rep. Wally Herger (R-Calif.), who is a likely candidate to be the GOP’s top rep on Ways and Means once Rep. Jim McCrery (R-La.) retires this year, said the prospect “is continually being debated at the White House.”
