Hoyer on Deathstar timing
July 19, 2007
The latest from BNA:
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) July 17 said he expected Congress to consider the Peru FTA in the early fall. Asked at his weekly briefing whether there was any chance for FTAs with Latin American countries to get to House floor before August recess, Hoyer said simply, "No."
"That does not mean, as [House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)] has said, that we're not going to pass them. The speaker said we're going to do Peru and Panama [FTA] in particular. My expectation is early in the fall," he said.
