GORE GLIDES into the fight to win votes for trade with China. He quietly starts lobbying House Democrats to back normalizing China-U.S. trade relations. Gore and cabinet members got a list of about 40 lawmakers to phone. In a call to Maryland Rep. Cardin, "Gore wanted to know what it would take for me to support the deal," says Cardin, who wants tougher U.S. trade laws against dumping. But Gore's involvement is low-key to avoid riling labor. A pro-China Gore speech to unions "could ignite labor," says California Rep. Matsui. To boost the cause, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Friday plans to endorse six pro-trade House Democrats, such as Indiana's Roemer. Meanwhile, an AFL-CIO ad campaign against the China trade deal will target 12 to 20 House seats. Free-trade foes deliver a Propaganda Survival Kit to lawmakers heading to China Friday. It includes handcuffs, a Bible and a bottle of clean air.
