Hello and welcome to a UPI weekly White House wrap-up. This week, President Bush and 9 thousand guests welcomed the Pope to the White House on his visit to the U.S. Wednesday's arrival ceremony seemed to turn into a celebration for Benedict's 81st birthday. But celebrating aside, Bush and the Pope later had a private meeting to discuss terrorism, Iraq, and the Israeli-Palestinian dispute. President Bush is proposing to stop the growth of the nation's greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2025. He also called on Congress to take the lead role in this issue. The President made his comment on Wednesday that reflected a shift in his stance on climate change. Bush reportedly won't outline a specific proposal, but his new goal is an attempt to avoid court-forced regulations in the future. The President is stepping up pressure on Congress to approve a controversial free-trade pact with Colombia. He said the deal is dead unless House Speaker Nancy Pelosi schedules a vote. The administration said the pact would be good for the U.S. because it would eliminate high taxes that our exports to Colombia now face. Democrats criticize the continued violence against organized labor in that country. Thanks for watching this week's wrap-up, and we'll see you next week for another one. « Less
