      "title": "Fast-Track Legislative Procedures for Trade Agreements: The Great Debate of 1991",
      "summary": "The last debate on whether or not to grant the President authority to negotiate trade agreements\nwith\n\"fast-track\" legislative procedures was in 1991. Many issues that were raised in that debate are the\nsame as those still being considered, including the role of labor and the environment in trade\nnegotiations and whether legislation to implement trade agreements should be amendable. The result\nof the debate in 1991 was that Congress allowed the President an extension of negotiating authority\nwith fast-track legislative procedures. At the same time, however, it gave strong directives to the\nAdministration on issues to be addressed in the negotiations and threatened to withdraw the fast-track\nprocedures if its directives were not followed.",
