FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







1993 FWOC RESOLUTION #18
_NAFTA_

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is designed to establish free trade among the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Laws for the protection of the environment and for the working conditions of labor in Canada, Mexico and the United States are not always in harmony.  Among the laws in the United States that could be subject to challenge as illegal trade barriers are the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act, the banning of log exports, laws restricting pesticide use, and others.  Furthermore, NAFTA may set up a situation where the environmental or labor standards will be lowered, thus diminishing the quality of life, the level of employment and the security of social justice.
The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs proposes that the United States not ratify NAFTA until we are assured that the environmental laws of each nation will not be weakened.
Copies of this resolution shall be sent to President Clinton and to the Office of the United States Trade Representative in Washington, D.C.  The Convention delegates are urged to send copies to their congressional representatives.
