House of Representatives approves NAFTA implementing legislation

The U.S. House passed the implementing legislation for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) after a contentious floor debate and a narrow majority vote.

House approval cleared a major legislative hurdle for NAFTA, advancing a landmark trade pact that would reshape U.S. economic relations with Canada and Mexico and become a central policy and political issue for the Clinton administration.
