Mr. Chairman. NAFTA is not about protectionism or about SmootHawley. NAFTA is not about isolationism or xenophobia. The American people are better than that. and so are the Members of Congress who share their concern about this NAFTA. NAFTA is not about bedfellows. strange or otherwise. NAFTA is not basically about GATT or Japan or the APEC meeting in Seattle. It is essentially about America. our jobs. our businesses. our standard of living. NAFTA is about a fact denied by too many proponents: There are two legitimate sides to this issue. It is about how we further integrate our economy with others. in this instance Mexico. a country whose governmental policies artificially keep down wages and salaries in order to attract investment from the north.
