“NAFTA November 12, 1993 Today, we saw a profile in courage. Leo Purcell, president of the Massachusetts Building Trades Council, endorsed NAFTA in a letter to fellow union workers. In addition to saying, as I have, that this is a choice between change and status quo, Purcell wrote, ``No longer can nations afford to build invisible walls at their borders because there are no longer national borders to free trade.'' I applaud Mr. Purcell for his leadership, courage, and vision and for his strong confidence in the American worker.”
