The trade deficit is a malignant tumor in the intestines of the U.S. economy. That's absolutely right. We have to start dealing with our trade deficit. And one way, one of the issues we have got to deal with is, as you mentioned Congresswoman Sutton, is not to renew Fast Track, which is extremely important. Let Congress do our job that we're elected to do, representing our constituents. I did have a chance to actually meet the President of Colombia a couple of weeks ago. I had an interesting conversation and asked several questions about the brutality and the murders that are happening in Colombia with trade unionists, and I'm looking forward to his response to some of the questions that I have.
