On December 8, 1993 President Bill Clinton signed into law theNorth American Free Trade Agreementand in doing so he brought to a close the lengthypolitical processthat produced thetradeagreement. This paper combines information for individuallegislatorswith state-level economic data to conduct an empirical analysis of the House andSenatevoting patterns onNAFTA.Results from the logit model estimation confirm that expected job gains/losses, the presence of organized labor and political ideology (as represented by political party) were significant predictors of a legislator's vote on NAFTA. In addition, the expected impact of NAFTA on theenvironmentwas found to be somewhat important in explaining Congressional voting patterns for a free trade agreement withMexico
