Governor's State of the State speeches, late 1990s: on Free Trade


Jesse Ventura: When I travel abroad it will be with a serious economic plan

When I travel abroad, it will be with a serious economic plan, well thought through. The trip planned for fall to Japan is the first effort. Some of you may know that Japanese television carried my inauguration on national television. With such interest in Minnesota, I would be foolish not to explore that interest for the betterment of our entire state's economy. The urgency of my administration's strategy for new market development is seen most in the agricultural part of the economy.

George W. Bush: Support NAFTA by improving Mexican border

I will continue to be a strong advocate for free and fair trade with Mexico. NAFTA is good for Texas and good for Mexico. I will work with the federal government and the Texas Department of Transportation to improve infrastructure along our border.
