Canada and the United States are also working at the World Trade Organization and in our own hemisphere with negotiations for a Trade Area of the Americas to try to help countries create a positive climate for investment and trade.

The only history is a mere question of one's struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander to do.

Americans cannot maintain their essential faith in government if there are two Americas in which the private sector's work subsidizes the disproportionate benefits of this new public sector elite.

As an elder of the Americas and of the rest of the planet it is my responsibility to care for and protect to the best of my ability the young.
