Bush to urge House GOP to support CAFTA

WASHINGTON - President Bush will address House Republicans on Wednesday as part of the final drive to capture the votes of undecided lawmakers needed to pass the Central American Free Trade Agreement.

The president, who has actively campaigned for the free trade pact known as CAFTA, will speak during a closed meeting of GOP members.

Rep. Hilda Solis, D-Calif., the only member of Congress of Central American background, said CAFTA was "a bad deal for Central Americans and also for Latinos in this community."

"I can tell you that the exploitation of workers will continue in Central America," Solis said.
