What if she sided with the idea that Dems in Congress should at least know
what the final TPP looks like before they are asked to support TPA. That
will have the effect of siding with labor, while -- on substance -- still
being neutral on both TPP and TPA.

PROPOSED ANSWER

- As I have said all along, before deciding whether to support any trade
agreement, I want to see the final language.
And I think members of Congress should have the same ability to see the
final language of any deal before they are asked to support it.

- That's not what is happening right now. By having votes on TPA before the
finalization of the underlying deal, members of Congress are essentially
being asked to fast-track a deal they haven't seen in its final form.

- I understand Democrats not wanting to do that. So I understand what
happened with Friday's vote, and think that it would make sense if the
negotiations on the trade agreement were finalized before fast-track is
approved.
