One of the concrete demands that Congress has set in front of the Obama administration is that, at a very minimum, we require the completion of a tax information exchange agreement before the FTA is implemented. That is step one, and a majority of House Democrats and also a growing number of Republicans have called for re-examination of the investor-state system to ensure that companies operating in tax havens don't have special rights to go around the U.S. legal system to challenge U.S. anti-tax-haven measures. I think you'll see in the months ahead, including from a great deal of Republicans in Congress, an interest in setting those markers and making sure that happens before we move forward with the trade deal.
