Representative Tom DeLay of Texas, the House majority whip and perhaps President Clinton's most venomous critic on Capitol Hill, has become the president's unlikely ally in the fight to win approval for a decisive trade measure with China. a clip: Administration officials say they are pleased, and relieved, that the bitter rivalry has turned to temporary truce. "Even though it may seem a little strange, based on other battles we've had, there have been a few flurries of bipartisanship in seven years," Commerce Secretary William Daley said today. The Clinton-DeLay connection is just one of the odd alignments spawned from the fight, which has labor unions and conservative religious groups opposing the measure and soybean farmers and high-tech executives backing it. Support for the measure grew today. The chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan, publicly endorsed it. Three former presidents, Gerald R. Ford, Jimmy Carter and George Bush, issued a letter coordinated by the White House warning that defeat "would be read in China as a vote for confrontation and as an argument for hunkering down, instead of continuing to reach out." (edit) So why does so fierce a critic of Beijing support the trade measure? "Exporting American values undermines the Communist regime in China," Mr. DeLay explained in the interview. "Free-market principles, entrepreneurship, the Internet, all these institutions reflect American values," he said. "I see it as a beginning of the end of Communism." nytimes.com
