Hi Dave,

It seems that your President doesn't share your sentiment nor mind
working with Malaysia. See the press statement below and please note
the first sentence of that statement.

For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
March 8, 2006

Statement by the President on U.S.-Malaysia Free Trade Agreement

The United States and Malaysia share strong trade and investment ties
and a commitment to generating prosperity through openness, democracy,
and freedom. Today, we seek to further strengthen the ties between our
two countries by launching negotiations on a comprehensive
U.S.-Malaysia Free Trade Agreement.

Once completed, a Free Trade Agreement with Malaysia will generate
significant commercial, economic, political, and strategic benefits to
both countries. It will improve our ties with the Southeast Asia
region and strengthen our engagement in Asia. Malaysia is our
tenth-largest trading partner, and the United States is Malaysia's
second-largest source of imports. A U.S.-Malaysia Free Trade Agreement
will advance our commitment to opening markets around the world and
expanding opportunities for America's farmers, ranchers, workers, and
businesses.

Free Trade Agreement: Economic and Strategic Benefits" which is
