US Congress only has to "review" it before it takes effect 60 days after a presidential signature.
To date, AFAIK, no Congressional member has been allowed to view the full text of the "agreement".
Wonder why if there's nothing sinister within the pact? I suspect now that Democrats hold both houses, the President's signature will appear any day as he will attempt to blame them for the lop-sided deal.
If you have a chance read this:

The Government Accountability Office takes Jo Anne Barnhart to task for only going to Mexico for 2 days and signing the agreement. She is the Bush appointee for the SS administration who signed the agreement.
Read the first couple of paragraphs, then scroll down to 13 of 35 then the chart on page 16 of 35 which tell of the under and over estimates of the previous countries. This article is an eye opener itself.
This is a non partisan article as both the GAO and SS debate the issue on this url.
Ron Paul for President.
"Ron Paul for President."
Shout it from the roof tops!
Tom Tancredo and Ron Paul don't know which one would make a better first or second on the ticket, but way better than McCain or Hitlery any day.
The Pubies want this for their big biz friends and the Dems want it for votes. Guess who will be the loser - the citizens who will have to pay for this through higher payroll taxes.
This agreement is illegal since it violates the 14th Amendment - equal protection under the law. The who plan here is to do away with the Constitution and go after our guns. Until our arms are taken away, our leaders are terrified of the citizenry.
Americans know he did, and history will not forget it.
Amazing
