http://www.nytimes.com/2001/10/18/business/18TRAD.html BUSH PROPOSES A PECULIAR NOTION: WE WILL DEFEAT TERRORISM BY GIVING HIM FAST-TRACK TRADE AUTHORITY. POLITICS AS USUAL AMIDST A NATIONAL CRISIS. >From the NEW YORK TIMES: October 18, 2001 Bush Links Terror Attacks to Trade Bill By THE NEW YORK TIMES RAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif., Oct. 17 — President Bush used the terrorist attacks today to press for a quick vote on new authority to negotiate trade agreements without allowing amendment by the Senate. "The terrorists attacked the World Trade Center, and we will defeat them by expanding and encouraging world trade," Mr. Bush said, seeming to imply that trade was among the concerns of terrorists who brought down the towers. "In order to help me expand world trade, I've asked the Congress to give me what's called trade promotion authority — the ability to seek America's interests around the world." Opponents of the bill, which would limit Congress to approving or denying accords, say Mr. Bush is trying to force it through by wrapping it in the attacks, even though the connection is tangential at best. The strategy came from Robert B. Zoellick, the United States trade representative, who began making the argument soon after Sept. 11.
