Labour camps fashionable for the 2000 decade.

Washington, May 18 (NNN) : In a big victory for President Bill Clinton and a blow for organised labour
in the country, a key panel in the US House of Representatives gave its approval on Wednesday to a bill
that would grant China permanent trade privileges, giving the pact momentum ahead of a hotly
contested vote in the full House next week.

During the day, the legislation normalising US trade relations with China overwhelmingly won the
support of another key committee in the Senate as well, with the Senate Finance panel approving the
measure 18-1.

The House Ways and Means Committee approved the measure 34-4 as previously undecided
members on the panel decided to support the administration, setting up a final House floor vote for
next week.

Though Senate committee vote was expected, since support for the overall measure is broad in that
chamber, organised labour has waged a fierce campaign against the legislation, undercutting
Democratic support in the House.

The bill, which would end 20 years of annual Congressional votes on China's trade status, has the
strong support of the Clinton administration and business groups but it opposed by organised labour
and some human rights groups, particularly in the House.
