Peru FTA (NAFTA Expansion) Passes in House

Bloomberg:
The House of Representatives approved a free-trade agreement with Peru, the first such accord passed by Congress since Democrats won control last year. In a 285 to 132 vote, the House approved the deal to eliminate tariffs and set rules of investment between the world's largest economy and the Andean nation. The measure, which came to a vote only after Democrats got the Bush administration to toughen labor and environmental provisions, now goes to the Senate, which is likely to approve it.

Roll Call vote.
