[0:02] trade barriers set up. We now join CNN

[0:04] in progress. The 471page report

[0:07] yesterday. The 15 member European Union

[0:10] accounted for the second highest number

[0:11] of complaints, followed by China. 50

[0:14] other nations were also cited for

[0:16] placing trade barriers against American

[0:18] companies. The administration will

[0:20] decide whether to pursue any of the

[0:21] complaints next month.

[0:23] Investigating former President Bill

[0:25] Clinton has cost taxpayers close to $60

[0:28] million, and there's still months of

[0:30] wrap-up work left. According to the

[0:32] General Accounting Office, independent

[0:34] council Robert Ray and his predecessor

[0:41] money was used to look into issues

[1:00] administration. Tests on two North

[1:04] for foot and mouth disease. Other

[1:06] animals in the state are also being

[1:08] tested. Foot and mouth is harmless to

[1:10] humans, but spreads quickly and can be

[1:13] crippling to the meat industry. So far,

[1:16] Britain has been hardest hit. Its

[1:18] government is putting off a decision on

[1:19] vaccinating dairy cattle against the

[1:21] disease. Right now, livestock in areas

[1:23] where the outbreaks have been found will

[1:25] continue to be slaughtered. The United

[1:27] States hasn't had a confirmed case
