      "summary": "This report discusses the fast track trade procedures in the Trade Act of 1974 operate as procedural\r\nrules of the House and Senate, and the statute itself declares them to be enacted as\r\nan exercise of the constitutional authority of each house to determine its own rules. These procedures prevent Congress from altering an\r\nimplementing bill or declining to act, but permit it to enact or reject the bill. By these\r\nmeans Congress retains authority to legislate in the areas covered, yet affords the\r\nPresident conditions for effective negotiation.",
