' “We remain deeply troubled by the continued lack of adequate congressional consultation in many areas of the proposed pact* that deeply implicate Congress’ constitutional and domestic policy authorities,” said the House Democrats’ letter, circulated by Representative Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut and George Miller of California.
'The House Democratic letter has about 151 signatories. On the Republican side, 22 lawmakers signed a similar letter. Other members have signaled their opposition independently, meaning that roughly 40 percent to 50 percent of House members have signaled that they have concerns about, or oppose, the use of fast-track authority.'
