Agriculture, Vol. 1: Hearing Before the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session on the Effect of the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) On U. S. Agriculture; September 21, 1993 The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 2:36 p.m., in room SD -138, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Patrick J. Leahy, chairman of the committee, presiding. Present or submitting a statement: Senators Leahy, Pryor, Boren, Harkin, Conrad, Daschle, Baucus, Kerrey, Feingold, Lugar, Cochran, Craig, and Grassley. Statement of Hon. Patrick J. Leahy, a U.S. Senator from Vermont The Chairman. Good afternoon. The committee will come to order. Mr. Secretary, it is good to have you here. I am delighted to have the Secretary of Agriculture, a good friend, here. I am told the Trade Representative is tied up in a meeting. We are here today to debate the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta), an issue that is going to affect each and every American. There are those who would have us believe that the economy of the United States will spiral down into Mexico if we pass this agreement and that we would wipe out the U.S. manufacturing sector, destroy the family farm, and undermine all our public health and environmental standards. And there are those that would have us believe that the United States will spiral into economic obscurity if we don´t pass this agreement. We have heard all the sensationalism. We have heard reports of doom versus boom. Today we are here to carry the debate one step further. Now, there are responsible voices on both sides of the debate, but I am not going to take kindly to those who try to make their case by exaggerating either the risks or benefits of Nafta. Nafta is not the worst thing that is ever going to happen to the United States. Nafta is also not the best thing that is going to happen to the United States. It is not as good as its strongest proponents say it is, and it is certainly not as bad as its strongest opponents say it is. And I think that we are not going to have a debate that is going to engage the American people until both proponents and opponents of Nafta lower the rhetoric and stick a lot closer to demonstrable facts.
