Æ
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) EXPANDED MARKETS.—One of the purposes
of the NAFTA, as stated in the preamble, is to ‘‘cre-
ate an expanded and secure market’’ for goods and
services. Instead, the NAFTA has resulted in a spi-
raling trade deficit with Mexico and Canada that
will exceed $30,000,000,000 in 1995. Rather than
harmonious development and expansion as envi-
sioned, the NAFTA has resulted in trade deficits
which are draining $2,500,000,000 a month from
the United States economy.
(2) CURRENCY
STABILITY.—One of the pur-
poses of the NAFTA is to ‘‘ensure a predictable
commercial framework for business planning and in-
vestment’’. However, the NAFTA contains no safe-
guards to minimize the negative economic impacts of
severe shifts in currency exchange rates among the
NAFTA Parties. To protect its own economy the
United States has sought to bolster the Mexican
peso 
which 
is 
now 
being 
supported 
by
$30,000,000,000 in loans, mostly from unwilling
United States taxpayers. The devaluation of the
Mexican peso has more than offset tariff reductions
and other trade benefits the United States expected
to achieve from the agreement.
