STATEMENT BY GOVERNOR BILL CLINTON
Mexico Free Trade Act
July 27, 1992
If we are to prosper as a nation, we must reject the
outdated rhetoric of both the free traders who are oblivious to
workers and the environment, and the protectionists who ignore
the benefits of expanded world trade. We must pursue a new
course. As President, I will negotiate trade agreements that
both promote expanded trade and that put our people first.
From the outset of this campaign, I have stated that I will
support a free trade agreement with Mexico so long as it provides
adequate protection for workers, farmers, and the environment on
both sides of the border. Furthermore, I have stated that we must
have strong transition strategies that ensure that workers
benefit from a more open world trading system. I hope that the
agreement that finally emerges will meet these goals.
I applaud Majority Leader Gephardt's continuing efforts to
press the President to ensure that these goals are, in fact,
incorporated. We must sign a pro-growth, pro-jobs treaty with
Mexico that does not sell out our workers or our environment.
If I am President, that is exactly the kind of agreement we'll
have.
