Per TPA, the President's so-called fast-track authority expires on June 30, 2007. TPA also requires that Congress be provided at least 90 days in which to review an agreement before voting it straight up or down. It thus appears that the Korus FTA was required to have been signed and sent to Congress by April 2nd at the latest. Has this actually happened and, if not, what bit of pettifoggery is being employed to get around it? The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that the "Agreement" had yet to be drafted and initialed by the negotiators, let alone singed by the Shrub.
