Leads Congressional Delegation to South America (Aug)

The discussions while visiting Chile, Brazil and other South American countries center around "Fast Track" trade agreements. "Fast Track" means Congress cannot alter trade legislation presented by the President and his negotiators; they can only vote yes or no. In November Congress votes not to extend this legislation.
