I don't think so, no. There's criticism, but there's always been criticism. Perhaps I do have one question. With respect to Gore and the free trade system, I think he displayed some indecision toward the unions. I have no doubt that George W. Bush, as far as I can read it, is a defender of free trade.
Free trade is essential and is very important.
It's very important that the President get fast track authority. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to negotiate a trade agreement and then have to go through Congress where Congress can amend or change it. Fast track authority is the only way the American government can negotiate in a responsible and reliable way. No, I have not heard anything from them about that issue. Of course we have problems, talk about bananas and other issues, but the basic approach of American policy is that we want Europe to speak with one voice through European unity and integration.
