With President Bush in Vietnam this weekend, “America’s Business” considers the importance to U.S. manufacturers of establishing Permanent Normal Trading Relations with Vietnam. Host Mike Hambrick talks with Sandra Westlund-Deenihan of Quality Float Works in Schaumburg, Ill., providing the perspective of a small manufacturer. From a larger manufacturer, we hear from R. Scott Miller, director of global trade policy, for Procter and Gamble. Another pressing issue for the lame-duck session of Congress is passage of legislation to open the Outer Continental Shelf to energy exploration and development. Discussing the topic is Rep. John Peterson, R-Penn., chief supporter of the Deep Ocean Energy Resources Act, to accomplish that goal.

Stevens, president of the National Association of Realtors, sees the upside in the real estate market.
