Treason Timeline
In May of 1977, Presidents Carter and Lopez Portillo established the precursor to the BNC to provide better coordination of U.S. – Mexico relations. Then called the U.S. Mexico Consultative Mechanism it had three broad working groups–political, social and economics–and subgroups within each of these. At the first meeting in May 1978, Secretary of State Vance and Mexican Secretary of Foreign Relations Roel met in Mexico with the chairmen of the working groups to review the first year’s progress.
1981 – U.S. Mexico Binational Commission
“The Binational Commission was established in 1981 by Presidents Reagan and Lopez Portillo to serve as a forum for meetings between cabinet-level officials from both countries. The new BNC was envisioned as a simple, flexible tool that would meet once or twice annually with U.S. and Mexican counterparts addressing agendas of topics requiring high-level attention.”
1983 Special Economic Zone on the Border of Mexico and the U.S.
1983 – U.S.-Mexico treaty signed at La Paz, Mexico by Presidents Ronald Reagan and Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado establishing the international zone on the border. They wrapped the treaty in environmentalism but in fact, the international zone on the border was a special economic zone/administrative zone on the border between Mexico and the U.S. The border zone is a port zone because it is bounded by water on both sides.

1990 Enterprise of the Americas
The Enterprise of the Americas Initiative – George Bush announcing the initiative for a “hemispherewide free trade zone“, June 27, 1990. Special recognition for the attendees: Members of our Cabinet — Nick Brady and Secretary Baker, Carla Hills, Secretary Mosbacher — delighted you’re here. Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, Mike Boskin, is here. Bill Webster, welcome. And of course, we’re delighted to see Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, here and then an old friend, Barber Conable, of the World Bank, and Richard Erb, from the IMF. And Ricky Iglesias, an old friend of the Bushes, and we welcome him, of the IDB, and so many leading lights in the business and financial communities.
George Herbert Traitor Bush:
• Throughout the region, nations are turning away from the statist economic policies that stifle growth and are now looking to the power of the free market to help this hemisphere realize its untapped potential for progress.
• . . . we must build on the trend we see toward free markets and make our ultimate aim a free trade system that links all of the Americas: North, Central, and South. And we look forward to the day when not only are the Americas the first fully free, democratic hemisphere but when all are equal partners in a free trade zone stretching from the port of Anchorage to the Tierra del Fuego.
The Enterprise was no doubt the kick-off of negotiations for NAFTA.
