A prosperous Mexico is clearly in our interest. And a freetrade agreement between our two countries will put the United States in the middle of a market of over 360 million consumers. with a current combined output of $6 trillion20 percent larger than the European Community. A freetrade agreement would create new markets for American goods and services. it would enhance the security and stability of our continent. and it would encourage cooperation in such matters as narcotics traffic and illegal Immigration. Economic development would allow the Mexican Government to devote more resources to such problems as environmental protection and child labor. Failure of the Mexican trade talks. through the denial of fasttrack authority. likely would sour United StatesMexican relations for years to come.
