But some senior administration officials, worried that Clinton will come under fire for backing down on human rights, are pushing another solution. According to administration sources, Labor Secretary Bob Reich, among others, favors “partial revocation” of the treaty.

That compromise doesn’t sit well with the president’s economic team, however. “It would be the worst of both worlds,” says a senior official. Aides say Clinton is looking for a way to grant full MFN renewal.
