House votes to end Mexican truck program

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives defied a White House veto threat on Tuesday by voting to end a controversial pilot program that gives long-haul commercial trucks from Mexico full access to U.S. highways.
The bill, approved 395-18, would reverse a decision by the Transportation Department to continue the program, which was begun last year under NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement.
The Senate has yet to take action on the issue and unless Senate leaders can garner a veto-proof two-thirds vote against the program it appeared set to continue.

Looks like the House of Reps. got it right by a very large margin.
