trans-pacific partnership is a deal with 11 nations in asia, covering things like agricultural goods, a fact sheet showing it would provide $77 billion in assets. it's a trade pack with every asian country not named china. the other one is a bigger deal that would eliminate tariffs and build on the $500 billion export market to the e.u. for many nations involved, that's critical, they don't want to sign onto a deal that could get changed. the senate majority leader harry reard says he's not yet on board. >> i'm against fast track. everyone knows how i feel about this. senator backus knows, senator widen knows, the white house knows, so we'll see. everyone will be well advised just to not push this right now. >> by the way, the president has a meeting with reid in the oval office today. you can expect trade to be on the agenda. reid's not alone. other democrats have weighed in. a january letter to the u.s. trade representative michael froemen, from members of the u.s. finance committee, we are not prepared to support the legislation that does not provide mechanisms that enable congress to hold u.s. trade representative more accountable through the negotiation process. in other wo
