1993年11月16日
When it hit the House floor in 1993, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) incited controversy and stormy debates. While pro-NAFTA factions viewed the landmark free-trade bill as a potential boon to U.S. fiscal health, a number of politicians and labor leaders feared that NAFTA would send American jobs to nations with cheaper labor in an effort to drive up corporate profits. For a while, it looked like NAFTA might stall in the House, but tireless advocacy from President Clinton, one of NAFTA's strongest supporters, helped win support for the bill. By this day in 1993, it was clear that NAFTA would pass through the House and become law. The news excited Wall Street, which had been pushing for NAFTA's passage. Traders celebrated by snapping up stocks and the Dow Jones Industrial Average picked up 33.25 points to close the day at 3,700 points.
