A BILL

American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘NAFTA Pork Repeal
Act of 1994’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds that—
(1) several reputable publications have reported
numerous instances in which Members of Congress
traded their votes for the North American Free
Trade Agreement Implementation Act in exchange
for commitments by the President or his representa-
tives to support special projects or undertake admin-
istrative actions for the benefit of districts rep-
resented by those Members, at the expense of United
States taxpayers and consumers;
(2) the large number and notoriety of these
deals is unprecedented in recent history; and
(3) such practices erode public confidence in the
integrity of the legislative process, contribute to a
growing climate of suspicion, cynicism, and scorn for
elected representatives, and impede the ability of the
President to win support for his programs on the
basis of their intrinsic merit.
