Clinton on Trade

To blame President Clinton for lack of progress on legislation expanding foreign trade is laughable (Commentary, Nov. 10). Tom Plate seems to think it is the president’s fault that the House of Representatives and the Senate are controlled by extremist, right-wing, neo-isolationist partisans who will do anything and everything to stop legislation that might reflect well on the president. What we need to do is get those dinosaurs out of a position of leadership and back in the minority where they belong.
