Byron Dorgan: “I want to observe that the Senator from Texas said he doesn't think our States are involved because we have a 20-mile…”

On the recordJuly 26, 2001
I want to observe that the Senator from Texas said he doesn't think our States are involved because we have a 20-mile limit. My point is, Mexican truckdrivers have been stopped in North Dakota already exceeding the 20-mile limit, so of course we are involved. Twenty-four States have found that similar condition. No. 2, the Senator from Texas said he didn't want to talk about the facts. The facts are that when Mexico alleged they are going to take action against our high-fructose corn syrup, does the Senator from Texas agree a panel has already ruled against Mexico, and they are now unfairly imposing tariffs on high-fructose corn syrup in violation of NAFTA? Does the Senator agree with that assertion?
