                            TRADE AGREEMENTS

  Mr. REID. Madam President, we have worked hard to be in the posture 
we are in today to have votes on these trade bills. My friend, the 
Republican leader, has heard me say this too much, but I do not favor 
these bills. But a majority of this Senate does, and I believed it was 
important we move these forward. I have worked with the Republican 
leader to do it today. I think it is important to do it today. We have 
the President of Korea here in America. He is going to speak to a joint 
meeting of Congress tomorrow. I look forward to a very productive day 
in moving these matters forward.
