Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transportation Infrastructure and Safety Impacts of the North American Free-Trade Agreement (Nafta): Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight of the Committee on Public Works and Transportation House of Representatives One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, April 29, 1993 Nafta must not be used to bring the entire North American Continent to the lowest common denominator. Instead, it must be a tool to bring the entire continent to our high level, whether it is in workers' wages, environmental standards, or in transportation safety. These concerns are not abstract, obscure, or academic. A projected increase in cross-border trade, combined with a mandate to develop compatible transportation standards, means there will be pressure on our negotiating team to accept lesser safety stand ards as the price for a harmonization agreement.
