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outdated rhetoric of both the free traders who are oblivious to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.
