                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of Congress that the President should provide 
notice of withdrawal of the United States from the North American Free 
                        Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

Whereas, according to the Department of Commerce, United States trade deficits 
        with Canada and Mexico have significantly widened since the 
        implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA);
Whereas, according to the Department of Labor, 1,800,000 workers have applied 
        for trade adjustment assistance as a result of jobs lost because of 
        NAFTA;
Whereas future unrestricted foreign trucking into the United States can pose a 
        safety hazard due to inadequate maintenance and inspection, and can act 
        collaterally as a conduit for the entry into the United States of 
        illegal drugs and terrorist activities; and
Whereas the economic and physical security of the United States is impaired by 
        the potential loss of control of its borders attendant to the full 
        operation of NAFTA: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),  
That it is the sense of Congress that the President should provide 
written notice of withdrawal of the United States from the North 
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in accordance with Article 2205 
of the Agreement.
