Senate approves
free trade with
Jordan
WASHINGTON (AP) - In a time
ly gesture to a key Middle East
friend, the Senate on Monday
approved an agreement that
effectively removes all trade barri
ers with Jordan.
The U.S.-Jordan free trade
agreement, passed by a voice
vote, also commits both coun
tries to upholding worker rights
and environmental standards.
The measure, already passed by
the House, implements an agree
ment reached between the Clinton
administration and Jordan last fall.
The Bush administration strongly
supports it.
Jordan’s King Abdullah II, who
is visiting the United States this
week, has backed the U.S. anti-
terrorist fight and “accordingly
we should do whatever we can to
reinforce Jordan’s support,” said
Senate Finance Committee
Chairman Max Baucus, D-
Montana. ’
The first-ever trade agreement
with an Arab nation ‘‘serves as a
statement that our enemy is ter
rorism, not the Muslim world,’’
said Senate Majority Leader Tom
Daschle, D-South Dakota.
U.S.-Jordan trade is small in
scale, amounting to only about
$400 million last year, but the
agreement has significance
beyond the need to reward a
valuable U.S. ally.
Jordan would become only the
fourth nation, after Canada, Mexico
and Israel, to enjey a virtually tanfffree
relationship with the United States.

Fills Labor position as chief economic lilie
i
By Courtney Stelzel
THE BATTALION
Texas A&M economics pro
fessor Dr. Morgan O. Reynolds
recently was appointed chief
economist in the U.S.
Department of Labor, a posi
tion that makes him third in
command of the department.
Reynolds currently is on
unpaid leave from the
University, which allows him
return to his position after one
year if he chooses.
Reynolds said he did not
expect the appointment but
seized the opportunity when it
was presented.
“People behind the
scenes recommended
me, and the Bush
administration gave me
a call and offered me
the position,” Reynolds
said.
Although this position is
a political assignment by
the Bush administration,
Reynolds said he did not
angle for the position.
“They haven’t had a chief
economist for a while,” he said.
“So 1 am basically shaping this
new role. I am just doing various
things on demand right now.”

what working at the
Department had been like so
far.
