US Congressman Burton Urges
Free Trade Accord
Indiana Republican
Representative Dan Burton urged
Costa Rica to approve a trade
agreement.
Burton, during a visit by a US
congressional delegation, also
expressed concern about
"violent" and "antidemocratic"
events in Venezuela.
He says the Central America Free
Trade Agreement isn't exactly
what each side wanted, but it's
close enough. He says both sides
did not get everything they
wanted.
Burton urged Costa Rican
President Abel Pacheco to submit
the agreement to the country's
legislature for approval.
Burton also commented on the
government of Hugo Chavez in
Venezuela and said he would
visit the South American country
next month.
