The Michigan Daily - Thursday, November 17, 1994 - 7 Administration scrambles to rescue world trade pact WASHINGTON (AP) - Fearing an embarrassing defeat, Vice Presi- dent Al Gore and other senior admin- istration officials worked feverishly yesterday to shore up wavering Re- publican support for the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Their efforts came a day afterJesse Helms, chairman-to-be of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, hinted he would hinder the administration's foreign policy initiatives if President Clinton pressed ahead on the GATT vote, now scheduled for Dec. 1. Shortly before Gore spoke, Newt Gingrich, the next House speaker and a supporter of the pact to slash world tariffs, said he was "very very con- cerned" about its prospects in the Senate. Gore said at a news conference organized by businesses supporting the trade agreement, "The Congress will decide whether the United States will continue to lead the world in global economic issues or not. That's really what it comes down to." Gore, White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta and Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen all said the pact, nego- tiated under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, must be ap- proved this year by the lame-duck Democratic Congress. "It is abundantly clear that a delay of the GATT would definitely kill the GATT ... and hurt our country im- measurably," Gore said. The vice president, flanked by Budget Director Alice Rivlin, White House Economic Adviser Laura Tyson, U.S. Trade Representative Mickey Kantor and senior lawmak- ers, said delay of even six months would reduce U.S. economic output after 10 years by $70 billion and block creation of 25,000 jobs. "I don't know why any member of Congress would want that on his or her record," Gore said. Gingrich (R-Ga.) sent a letter to Clinton repeating his commitment to work toward "a bipartisan majority overwhelmingly approving" GATT in the House on Nov. 29. The letter was also signed by the outgoing speaker, Rep. Thomas Foley (D-Wash.), the outgoing majority leader, Rep. Dick Gephardt (D-Mo.) and the outgoing minority leader, Rep. Bob Michel (R-Il.). Republican Sen. Bob Dole, ex- pected to be majority leader in the new Senate, has said he is predis- posed to support GATT and would prefer to vote this year. But because. legislation implementing the agree- ment cannot be amended, he is seek- ing administration support for sepa- rate legislation early next year. That bill would strengthen the ability of the United States to with- draw from the accord if U.S. interests were harmed. It also would address a controversial deal that was struck with three communications companies to give them a discount on valuable li- censes to develop the next generation of wireless telephone systems. Kantor, who had accompanied Clinton to Indonesia for a Pacific trade summit, said he planned to meet with Dole. He said the GOP leader's suggestions would be "considered carefully." - Helms (R-N.C.) and Sens. Stromi Thurmond (R-S.C.) and Larry E. Craig (R-Idaho) wrote a letter last week urging Dole to seek delay of the ac- cord. Vice President Al Gore meets reporters on Capitol Hill yesterday to discuss the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). The vice president urged Congress to vote on the trade pact this year.
