On the recordMarch 17, 1994
Finally, the fair trade in financial services is absolutely critical to be accomplished at this time. We have been at this now for years. The negotiations that I have just cited illustrate the fact that we are not going to get the progress we need until we have this in place as a constructive lever to force open arbitrarily closed foreign markets. So the time to do this is now. It is good for America. It is good for our economy. It will help our financial services sector as they fight for competitive equity in these foreign settings. And this is an opportunity for us to accomplish a piece of work that will well serve the American people.
