Chris Dodd: “Let me interrupt here. I want to make sure I get Senator Bennett in before the vote.”

I had hoped we'd get in the lame duck session to the ratification of the Colombian Free Trade Agreement and the Panamanian Free Trade Agreement.

I frankly don't see the sovereignty issue as playing a role as an impediment as much as the sheer ability of the cartels to corrupt.

President Clinton, to his eternal credit in my view, just does not quit on this issue.

There's nothing wrong with enlightened self-interest.
