Since the border region and its particular problems escape the attention of Washington. many of us in the Congress. both Republicans and Democrats. have sought a mechanism to provide a forum by which border issues and information can be disseminated to our colleagues. Formed in 1983. the Border Caucus includes both Democrats and Republicans who represent districts either directly on the United StatesMexico border. or adjacent thereto. Through meetings and educational seminars with experts on selected areas of concern to the border. the caucus has confronted many issues that are truly indigenous to the border and to the United States. such as trade. the environment. immigration. health. education and the coordination. really. of bilateral resource centers. The Caucus has also sought to foster improved communications between both the Congress and the executive branch with respect to our counterparts in the Government of Mexico. In so doing. the Caucus has met with many officials in the Mexican Government. including Miguel de la Madried. their Ambassador to the United States.
