House Joins Senate in Passing CAFTA

From Susan Jones of CNS News:

Most Democrats opposed it, and so did some Republicans -- but in the end, the House of Representatives narrowly passed the Central American Free Trade Agreement.

The vote, which came early Thursday morning, was 217-215. Twenty-seven Republicans voted against CAFTA, while 15 Democrats supported it.

Passage is a victory for President Bush, who traveled to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to press for Republican support.
