With the completion of the side accords, we have turned NAFTA into a pathbreaking trade agreement.

Today I am signing S. 1274, the 'Small Business Guaranteed Credit Enhancement Act of 1993.'

Enactment of this bill ends a long debate regarding wilderness designation in the National Forests of Colorado.

I am pleased to sign into law H.R. 631, the 'Colorado Wilderness Act of 1993.'

This Act designates 19 areas within the National Forests and public lands of Colorado, encompassing 612,000 acres, as components of the National Wilderness Preservation System.

I am pleased that the United States, Mexico, and Canada have reached agreement on the supplemental accords to the North American Free Trade Agreement.

I am pleased to sign legislation that helps small businesses and their employees.

NAFTA is strongly in the interest of the United States.

NAFTA will create thousands of high paying American jobs by unlocking access to Mexico, a growing market of 90 million people that thirst for American products and services.

The demand for SBA loan guarantees has increased over the past several years at a 35 to 40 percent annual rate.

This agreement helps our workers, our environment, our businesses, and our consumers.

Perhaps most importantly, the lending authority provided by S. 1274 will assist firms in maintaining and creating more than 600,000 jobs over the next four years.

NAFTA is part of my broad economic strategy to gear the American economy for a changing world.

By signing this bill into law today, we further the protection of unique and sensitive lands within the National Forests of Colorado.

Today I pledge my strongest commitment to a major effort this fall to secure NAFTA's passage.

This legislation will inject new life into many small businesses by significantly increasing the availability of loans that can be guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA).

This higher program level will provide an uninterrupted source of credit for small businesses, something that has been lacking over the past few years.

When the floods were coming no one had time to wring their hands, so they just automatically rolled up their sleeves.
