Here in El Chamizal we have honored our pledged word.
Our concern and our commitments are not always easy to uphold.
This is the final act of a long drama.
Though we have followed our separate stars, we meet here today as two neighbors strong and prosperous, at peace with one another.
The plain language of the Convention of 1910 has become a reality today.
I truly believe this effort is an important step forward in Inter-Agency cooperation.
I asked you to form a Task Force to dig deeply into the problem of unnecessary red tape in the Federal Government.
I do not want a single unnecessary day of delay in delivering vital services under programs authorized and directed by the Congress.
I commend the work of the Task Force in identifying ways and means to streamline procedures.
The needs of our people are urgent.
But this is only a start.
