TESTIMONY OF JOHN ROGERS, DEPUTY DIRECTOR, U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BEFORE THE HOUSE RESOURCES COMMITTEE, SUBCOMMITTEE ON FISHERIES, WILDLIFE AND OCEANS, ON H.R. 39, NEOTROPICAL MIGRATORY BIRD CONSERVATION ACT. FEBRUARY 11, 1999 I am pleased to be here to comment on H.R. 39, the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act, which will aid in the international conservation and management of neotropical migratory birds by supporting conservation programs and providing financial resources. The Administration supports the legislation, as it provides a mechanism for coordination and funding to promote the conservation of neotropical migratory birds and their habitats throughout Latin America, the Caribbean and North America. We acknowledge that other House members have introduced another bill. In addition, the Senate has their own version of this legislation which we could also support. We will be happy to work with the Subcommittee, other House members and the Senate to resolve the differences in the bills and to ensure that the final legislation serves the needs of neotropical migratory birds with the best program possible. We would like to thank Chairman Saxton of the Subcommittee and Chairman Young and Ranking Member Miller of the full Committee for co-sponsoring this important legislation. H.R. 39 incorporates many of the comments and suggestions the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and Administration had provided to the Subcommittee last year.

    NEW YORK, THURSDAY 1 OCTOBER 1998
    SPEECH BY HOWARD DAVIES
    CHAIRMAN, FINANCIAL SERVICES AUTHORITY "REGULATION FOR THE NEXT MILLENNIUM" [Title slide 1] And these mergers not just within sectors, across them too. Creation of financial supermarkets in some places. In UK biggest food retailers also banks. BA considering it. No doubt because RB is. We are also seeing large networks of institutions across boundaries. In many countries huge sections of the financial sector are now owned by overseas institutions. All this poses a very major challenge for supervisors and regulators. As markets change, so must regulatory structures. Change underway in many countries. Australia, Japan, Korea, Mexico. Change perpetually discussed in the US, also. Though congress now has more exciting things to occupy its time. In the UK, however, we have gone rather further, rather sooner. In our impetuous, hot-blooded Latin way, we have decided on a very major regulatory reform, in one go. So my presentation will focus on that, though I hope it will be suggestive of changes needed elsewhere.

WRITTEN STATEMENT OF WALTER M. BASTIAN DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC POLICY AND TRADE OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS SEPTEMBER 22, 1999 Madam Chair, I am pleased to appear before this subcommittee today to discuss our commercial relationship with Latin America and what it means for the well-being of the U.S. economy. In many ways it is a story of present challenges standing in the way of future opportunities. Not only has the Latin region undergone a number of recent changes, many of which I will address, but we are also less than 50 days away from the opening of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) Ministerial; a Ministerial which will bring us exactly half-way toward the completion of this decade long undertaking. It is the proximity to this event that makes this a timely hearing indeed. Let me begin by putting U.S.-Latin American trade in perspective. TRADE SNAPSHOT Latin America is a major trade and investment partner for the United States. It is a natural commercial partner of the United States, tied closely to us by geography, history and culture. Today, Latin America, including Mexico, accounts for one out of every five dollars in U.S. merchandise exports, up dramatically from under 14 percent at the beginning of this decade. In fact, Latin America has been responsible for almost half of all U.S. export growth since 1995. Further, excluding Mexico, Latin America is the only region of the world where the United States has consistently run a large and

May 16, 2000
Madam Chair, I am pleased to appear before this subcommittee to discuss our commercial relationship with Latin America and the opportunities it presents for U.S. firms. I would like to congratulate the subcommittee for its continued focus on the region, as evidenced by this, your second hearing in less than seven months involving the Administration's views on Latin America. Your timing is impeccable as we have recently witnessed two landmark events in South America's history. The first was one of historical importance: Brazil's celebration of its discovery on April 22, 1500, by Pedro Alvares Cabral. The second, which occurred less than a week ago, is one that we trust will also in time be viewed as a seminal event in the region's history: Congressional passage of the Conference Report to the Trade and Development Act of 2000, which includes Administration supported provisions enhancing the Caribbean Basin Initiative.
Obviously much has changed since Cabral's visit. Much too has changed since our Department last appeared before this subcommittee. Let me begin with a brief overview of our trade situation with Latin America.

Legislation aims to protect citizens if testing resumes
By Jerry Spangler
Deseret Morning News
The Mathesons have long maintained the family patriarch, former Gov. Scott Matheson, died of cancer caused by fallout from above-ground nuclear tests that billowed over southern Utah.
Now Matheson's son, 2nd District Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, wants to make sure that situation never occurs again. On Friday, he announced new legislation, the Safety for Americans from Nuclear Weapons Act, to ensure the safety of Americans if and when nuclear weapons testing resumes at the Nevada Test Site.
"Like thousands of Utah families, I am painfully aware of the federal government's failure to protect its citizens from the dangers of radioactive fallout created during atomic testing in Nevada in the 1950s and 1960s," he said. "The federal government said we were safe. The federal government knew we were at risk."

Accessibility at Home: Provisions for People with Disabilities in Latin America and Recommendations by Grantees to Their Home Institutions
- Rodolfo A. Sibrián, Fulbright Grantee, Universidad de El Salvador, El Salvador
I think the first obstacle is ignorance, the ignorance of people without disabilities about the people with disabilities. Most of the people in my institution in my country in general have no idea about this issue, and they don't care about people with disabilities. Consequently, the first step is to inform and educate people regarding this problem. If they realize that people with disabilities don't want special attention, but access to higher education, they are going to think and act in consequence.
Strategies to develop solutions to that problem: Organize workshops to inform people about this issue in our universities. Distribute this information through different means, such as papers, e-mail, newspapers, radio, etc. Contact people with disabilities that want to attend higher education institutions but haven't had the opportunity to because of environmental limitations. They are the most interested in that some changes occur in their favor. Organization is the key to being successful as a group. Motivate and convince the authorities of our universities to make decisions in order to begin the changes in the environment, buildings, parking lots, labs, etc, as well as changes in the policies of admission and access to classes.

TEN YEAR PROGRAM TO COMPENSATE JAPANESE AMERICANS INTERNED
DURING WORLD WAR II CLOSES ITS DOORS
WASHINGTON, D.C. After paying out more than $1.6 billion to more than 82,250 persons of Japanese ancestry who were interned during World War II, the Justice Department's Office of Redress Administration has officially closed its doors. The redress program, which was established by the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, acknowledges, apologizes, and makes restitution for the fundamental injustice of the evacuation, relocation, and internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. The Justice Department's Office of Redress Administration (ORA) was charged with administering the ten year program which, by operation of law, officially closed on February 5, 1999. Final figures were released today. "This was a tragic chapter in the history of our nation," said Attorney General Janet Reno. "The U.S. Government recognized the injustice of its actions during the war and provided a presidential apology and compensation. It was a time when we took away the liberty of an entire community of Americans." Since the program's inception, ORA has provided $20,000 in redress to 82,219 eligible claimants, totaling more than $1.6 billion.

TRANSCRIPT: REP. GILMAN ON DEBT-FOR-NATURE SWAP LEGISLATION
(Cites successes in Latin American tropical forests) (980)
Washington The chairman of the House of Representatives International Relations Committee has given his strong support to legislation that would allow the U.S. government to forgive up to $325 million in debts to developing countries that act to conserve their tropical forests.
The chairman, Representative Benjamin Gilman, explained his support during March 19 House debate. The bill passed the House 356-61; the Senate has not yet acted on it.
This bill, Gilman said, will allow the President to go beyond current law, which focuses on Latin America, to offer protection to tropical forests in Africa, Asia and South Asia.
"In short," he said, "this bill authorizes our President to offer up to $325 million in debt owed to the U.S. Government, a small fraction of the $15 billion they currently owe. The loans were made by the Agency for International Development and the Department of Agriculture."
Following is Gilman's statement as published in the Congressional Record:

Economic Growth in the Americas EAS:7/99-100:6
Peter Romero,
Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs; before the Council of the Americas Conference at the Department of State, Washington, DC, May 3, 1999 Council and Chambers meetings have always been great opportunities for me to learn what is really going on in the business world and the economic life of Latin America and the Caribbean. You are the people on the front lines of these economies, and responsible not only for managing change but actually making changes happen. I look forward to your questions and comments this morning, and to a continuing dialogue with you over the long-run. This morning, I'd like to take a longer-term perspective on developments in the region. One of the things I often ask myself and others is about the "trickle-down" of growth in Latin America, and what we could do to turn the "trickle" of increasing incomes into a "broad stream" of wealth irrigating all elements of society. There is no doubt that the past decade has been a decade of real success in Latin America. Growth of GDP from 1991 through 1998 averaged 3.5%, more than three times the level of the 1980's. Inflation for each of the past two years was 10%, the lowest in my lifetime and in the lifetimes of most Latin Americans. The region has shown a remarkable tenacity in its commitment to free markets, even during times of global financial crises and economic stress such as we saw in 1998. There is little doubt that, although the current year is not likely to produce glowing economic statistics, and although there are serious problems in particular countries, the overall trend is for continued macroeconomic stability and positive growth.

Latin America: Lessons From the Past and Hope for the Future Remarks by Ambassador Lino Gutierrez at the Foro del Bicentenario Conference April 22, 2005 OPENING Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to speak to such a distinguished group of young leaders from across the political and economic spectrum of Argentina. I know this conference is part of a series of talks looking at the world in the future. Today I would like to speak to you about Latin America in 2020. I know you have discussed in past conferences about how the world and Argentina will be in 2010, the year of Argentina’s bicentennial. I would challenge you to think longer term and see 2010 as a first lap in a longer race towards a better region. The goals that you and your colleagues around Latin America accomplish by 2010 will be important stepping-stones in the much longer-term process of Latin American political and economic development. LATIN AMERICA IN 1977 In order to understand where Latin America is headed in the next 15 years, it is important to understand where Latin America has come from in the past few decades. When I joined the U.S. diplomatic service in 1977, most Latin Americans lived under dictatorships. In many countries in the region, political repression was the norm. Basic freedoms, such as freedom of the press, speech, and association were nonexistent. The region was a Cold War battleground, with bloody armed struggles ongoing in many countries. The economic picture in Latin America in 1977 was not much better. High tariff barriers, low levels of intraregional trade, and widespread underdevelopment, typified the region. A small group of elites, who clung to a comfortable status quo, controlled the economies in most countries. The ideology of autarky, trade protection import-substitution, and large-scale state intervention in the economy heavily influenced the thinking of Latin American economic policymakers. These policies benefited a small number of industrialists in Latin America who could produce low quality goods at high prices to a captive market of consumers. The result was stagnation, economic inefficiency, and high inflation.

"As a world leader, the United States must work to facilitate international peace and prosperity and ensure the inherent human rights of all people."
As chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Peace Corps, and Narcotics Affairs, Dodd has worked to bring peace to Latin America, end human rights abuses against the Latin American people, and reduce drug trafficking in the region. He:
  • Stood up against right-wing military dictatorships in Panama, Cuba, El Salvador and Nicaragua and introduced a measure to prevent an arms race in Latin America.
  • Fashioned legislation on El Salvador which culminated in a comprehensive political settlement and cease-fire agreement.
  • Was the only U.S. Senator in 1997 to accompany President Clinton to Venezuela, Brazil and Argentina in order to meet with government officials and political leaders in each country.
  • Continues efforts begun in 1993 to support the restoration of democracy in Haiti and traveled to Haiti with Secretary of State Albright to encourage reconciliation and the strengthening of democratic institutions.
  • Has worked to modify U.S./Cuba policy to facilitate a peaceful transition to democracy and has offered humanitarian legislation to permit the sale of food and medicine to Cuba.
