Speaker. today I am introducing House Concurrent Resolution 291 and H.R. 486. calling for a bilateral trade summit and select committee on United StatesMexico relations. Relations between the two countries are at a critical juncture. The crisis in Central America. the fall of the oil markets. the peso devaluation. increased immigration. and an evergrowing number of protectionist laws have. in a short time. changed the nature of the economic and political relationship between us. Talks are needed to update the Congress and the administration on current problems in United StatesMexico relations so that it will be possible to legislate in a manner sensitive to the concerns of both countries. Reducing tensions and developing a mutually supportive commercial and political relationship should be the goal of U.S. policy with Mexico.
