Commerce Dept. Report

Commerce Secretary William Daley has developed new guidelines for deciding which private sector representatives go on government trade missions. Critics have charged that former Commerce Secretary Ron Brown invited business executives to take the trips as payback for supporting the Democrats. NPR's Phillip Davis reports that Daley has announced that politics won't be a consideration in any future invitations.
