Congress first granted fast-track authority in 1974, which was extended until 1994. According to Lori Wallach of Public Citizen, support for fast-track authority has been declining since the mid-to-late 1990s, with Congress only granting fast-track authority in five of the last eighteen years since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was passed and the World Trade Organization (WTO) was created. President Bill Clinton sought renewed fast-track authority during his second term, but because of bipartisan opposition, he was denied this authority when the House voted against fast-track legislation in 1998. In 2002, under President George W. Bush, Congress renewed fast-track authority until 2007, although the bill only narrowly passed the Republican-controlled House.
