Senators complete tour of Andean nations
A bi-partisan group of U.S. senators have completed a tour of three Andean regions in South American as part of an effort to obtain information as the U.S. considers new trade agreements for the region.
The senators visited Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru and met with leaders in each of the nations. The group included Harry Reid, D-Nev.; Richard Durbin, D-Ill.; Robert Bennett, R-Utah; Judd Gregg, R-N.H.; Ken Salazar, D-Colo.; and Kent Conrad, D-N.D.
Because of the bi-partisan nature of the group, they expressed both skeptical and favorable opinions of future trade agreements, several different reports said.
