Before the border is completely open to Mexican trucks. we must ensure the safety of motorists on our highways. No matter how much we want to have good relations and trade with our friends in Mexicoand we doour first obligation is to the American people. I want to make clear. though. that this bill does not prohibit forever some type of border crossing in relationship with Mexican trucking companies. H.R. 6630 simply requires the Independent Review Panel established by the Secretary of Transportation and the Department of Transportation itself to report to the Congress on the effects that the demonstration project had on motor carrier safety. It also provides a requirement to submit other required information. such as enforcement costs and various safety violations and other things like that. of the companies that have participated in the demonstration project thus far.
