Introduction

The CSIS trade guys talk about the upcoming third ministerial meeting of the Trade and Technology Council. They also discuss recent U.S. changes in oil policy in Venezuela and discuss Mexican policy regarding biotechnology and energy. H. Andrew Schwartz: It's been an interesting episode because these things come up a lot in the Congress from over the years. The administration went along with it which tells me that they were MIA when the debate was going on or that they had no appreciation of how this was going to blow up.
