The Congress must, must approve the worldwide GATT trade agreement that we negotiated.

We're in the process of, and certainly made a great deal of progress today towards being able to discuss issues on where there isn't 100 percent agreement with greater ease and in a very much more natural way.

We hope that the resumed talks will be conducted on a serious, sustained and productive basis and will lead to a just and lasting settlement of all outstanding issues.
