|
|
The Council on Foreign Relations has decided that the best course for North America is for Canada, the US, and Mexico must unite as one and just be North America. They are the ones behind our current border policy and they even say at one point that they told Newt Gingrech to never mention a terrorist crossing over our borders publically again. They plan on spending money to build the infrastructure in Southern Mexico and praise John McCain's and Ted Kennedy's Immigration Reform Policy. To top it off, a New York Times reporter is the head of this conference.

ANTHONY DEPALMA: [in progress] because we are determined and will guarantee you that we will be done by 2:00, so that you can get back. My name is Anthony DePalma. I'm a correspondent and reporter for the New York Times. Welcome to this session this afternoon.
We are here, and forgive me for just reading this, but I want to make sure that I've got all the rules correct, to discuss the conclusion of the Independent Task Force on North America sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations in association with the Canadian Council of Chief Executives and the Consejo Mexicano de Asuntos Internacionales. You all have details of the Task Force report, which was released today for the first time in your packet, as well as biographies of all the panelists up here. I'd ask you to bear with me as I go over a couple of housekeeping rules. I've already turned off my cell phone, so I would ask you all to do the same. Any other iPods, wireless devices, PDAs, whatever it is that you have, secret decoding devices, please turn them off. And in a little bit of a diversion from previous practices, this particular session is on the record, and all the comments that are made today will be on the record.
What we're going to do--the format is that I will introduce the speakers. They will all speak briefly about an aspect of the Task [Force] report about which they are expert. We'll begin with a couple of questions here, and then I will open it up to the audience for questions, and we'll finish up, as I said, precisely at 2:00.
