With a statue of George Washington as a backdrop, House Minority Leader Richard A. Gephardt, who is leading the Democratic opposition to President Clinton's efforts to create a hemisphere-wide free-trade zone, holds up a photo of a poverty strikenMexican child during a rally in the Wall Street area of New York Thursday, Oct. 16, 1997. With him is the head of the AFL-CIO John Sweeney, to left of podium, who also denounced Clinton's push for renewed fast-track negotiating authority.
