      <title>Globalization and the World Trade Organization</title>
      <description>Participants debated the pros and cons of the World Trade Organization. Proponents of the WTO argued that membership benefited the economy, could further democratic institutions in developing countries through regulation, and that WTO rules and regulations provided sufficient protections for consumers, workers and the environment. Opponents argued that the WTO was beholden to corporate interests and brokered agreements which did not provide sufficient protections for workers, provided lower standards of environmental protection, and created great disparities in wealth. Following opening arguments they responded to questions from the moderator.</description>

      <title>Book Discussion on [Whose Trade Organization?]</title>
      <description>Lori Wallach talked about her book [Whose Trade Organization?:  A Field Guide to the World Trade Organization], published by New Press. She talks about the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the trade agreements the organization enforces.

In her talk, Ms. Wallach also discussed careers in public service. Ms. Wallach answered questions from members of the Everett Public Service Internship Program following her remarks.</description>

      <description>The forum discussed the collapse of the Uruguay round of international trade negotiations. The General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT) is a new system of rules regarding international trade and market regulations, which are designed to liberalize trade barriers and enforce rules between trading countries. The failure of the Uruguay talks raised some doubt as to the future of GATT.</description>

      <title>GATT Talks and Farm Issues</title>
      <description>In 1986, the Uruguay round of international trade talks was launched with the purpose of reducing trade barriers in such areas as agriculture, textiles, and manufactured goods. Over the years, 108 countries have participated in the negotiations, including the world's major industrial nations. Since the talks began, problems emerged as countries jockeyed to protect their national interests. Currently, negotiations are stalled over a dispute between the U.S. and the European Community over cuts in farming subsidies, cuts which are being demanded by the United States, and opposed by the Europeans. The committee reviewed a compromise proposal offered last month by Arthur Dunkel, the director general of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the organization overseeing the talks. Among other things, the Dunkel plan calls for a cut in domestic farm supports.</description>

      <title>Uruguay Round of GATT Talks, Day 1</title>
      <description>The committee heard testimony on the extension of fast-track legislation to continue U.S. trade negotiations with other countries under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Fast-track legislative authority sets a deadline for consideration of trade legislation by Congress, and prohibits congressional amendments to the trade legislation. The Bush administration supports fast-track authority as essential to effect a North American Free Trade Agreement as well as to negotiate meaningfully in the Uruguay round of trade talks. Critics of the trade measures claim they will take jobs from U.S. workers, and without particular amendments would result in worker exploitation and environmental damage from U.S. industries in countries with little or no industrial regulations. The committee heard from several representatives of U.S. business and agriculture on the benefits and weaknesses of fast-track legislation.</description>

      <title>Uruguay Round of GATT Talks, Day 2</title>
      <description>The committee heard testimony in the second day of hearings on the Uruguay round of trade negotiations and the U.S.'s role in international trade negotiations. The committee also heard testimony on "Fast-track" authority on trade legislation, which limits the amount of time Congress may consider a trade bill and prohibits amendments being added to the bill. The Bush administration considers "fast-track" authority to be a necessity for the continuation of trade talks in the Uruguay round of trade negotiations and in the North American Free Trade Agreement. Opponents of "fast-track" authority want to ensure that regulations concerning fair wages, environmental protection and worker safety be included on any trade bills offered to Congress. The committee desired to investigate the "free rider" problem, in which a few countries taking part in trade negotiations make tariff concessions while other countries do not, allowing themselves a "free ride" in international trade. Mr. Brock discussed an expanded, "GATT Plus" system that would incorporate underdeveloped countries into the trade negotiations being conducted under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.</description>

      <title>North American Free Trade Agreement Part 1</title>
      <description>The committee heard testimony on how food production would be affected by the adoption of a North American Free Trade Agreement, creating an open free trading zone in all North America. President Bush supports the U.S. participation in such an agreement, and has announced that negotiations with Canada and Mexico will take place later in the year unless Congress fails to approve fast-track authority for trade legislation. Fast-track trade authority would limit the amount of time Congress has to approve the legislation and would prohibit Congress from attaching amendments to the applicable bills. Sen. Gramm warned the failure of the U.S. Congress to approve fast-track trade authority legislation might lead to the failure of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which could lead to a rise in protectionist trade practices around the world against American agriculture. This would result in either a planned economy in America or "Draconian" cuts in the agriculture industry.</description>

      <title>Trade and Agriculture Issues</title>
      <description>President Bush addressed an audience of members of the National Association of Farm Broadcasters, in the White House on U.S. agricultural trade and the North American Free Trade Agreement. He supported the agreement, which is being negotiated under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, saying it would mean improved agricultural trade and more jobs for Americans. He said an agreement with Canada already in existence showed over 30 percent improvement in agricultural exports in two years. Over 365 million people would be in the market opened by a North American Free Trade agreement, a market larger than the European community. He also repeated the administration's insistence upon an extension of fast-track authority for trade legislation, saying the U.S. must have it in order to seriously negotiate at trade talks. President Bush said the U.S. would not have normalized trade with Iraq until Saddam Hussein is removed from office, but it would continue to supply aid to the Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq. He also discussed the loaning of agricultural credits to the Soviet Union and the possibility of trade with China. He answered questions from the editors.</description>

      <title>Book Discussion on [Trade and Freedom]</title>
      <description>Mr. Bacchus, the former chairman of the Appellate Body of the World Trade Organization, spoke at the Hotel Washington about his book, [Trade and Freedom], published by Cameron May Ltd. In this 513-page collection of essays, the author argues that open trade plays an essential role in creating freedom because it fosters economic growth, which in turn leads to greater opportunities and choices for citizens. Mr. Bacchus also contends that it is necessary for supporters of free trade to back programs that help workers adapt to a changing economy, such as educational assistance and universal healthcare. He says that governing bodies like the WTO should open their deliberations to the public. Following prepared remarks, Mr. Bacchus responded to questions from the audience.</description>
