WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos M. Gutierrez said on Tuesday that he will bring a Congressional delegation to Colombia to continue the push to advance the U.S.-Colombia trade deal by showing members of Congress the remarkable transformation taking place in the South American country.
The visit of the fourth administration-led Congressional delegation will take place on Nov. 17-19 and highlight key trade pact for U.S. exports and security, according to a press release issued by the Commerce Department.
"Congress has already given Colombian exporters free access to the U.S. market," said Gutierrez. "With this trade agreement, Congress can give U.S. farmers, workers and businesses similar access to the Colombian market."
In 2006, more than 90 percent of Colombia's imports into the United States entered duty-free under unilateral U.S. trade preference programs.

Maybe Carlos Gutierrez will revisit the great moment in history when David Dreier treated the Colombian Congress to a good long look at his fat ass sitting on the podium in the very place where other speakers park their notes.
It was all the sensation in that country.
