Congressman Philip M. Crane (R-IL), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Trade of the Committee on Ways and Means, today announced that the Subcommittee hearing on the President's comprehensive study of the operation and effects of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), previously scheduled for Wednesday, July 16, 1997, at 10:00 a.m., in the main Committee hearing room, 1100 Longworth House Office Building, has been postponed and will be rescheduled at a later date.
In making the announcement, Congressman Crane stated, "I am postponing at the request of the Administration.

Therefore, I look forward to holding the hearing as soon as possible so that we may have an opportunity to thoughtfully analyze and review the report."
