Mexica President Carlos Salinas de Gortari has warned the U.S. the North American Free Trade Agreement must be in place as scheduled Jan. 1, or it's dead. Some U.S. congressmen want to change or delay the pact, but Salinas says, "Neither reopening negotiation of the treaty nor postponement of its implementation date are viable options at this stage. Both avenues would, in effect, represent a cancellation of the treaty, perhaps for many generations."
