NO. 5

BY REVENUE AND TAXATION
COMMITTEE

1 A JOINT MEMORIAL
2 TO THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
UNITED STATES IN CONGRESS
3 ASSEMBLED, AND TO THE CONGRESSIONAL
DELEGATION REPRESENTING THE STATE OF
4 IDAHO IN THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.

5 We, your Memorialists, the House of
Representatives and the Senate of the
6 State of Idaho assembled in the First Regular
Session of the Fifty-ninth Idaho
7 Legislature, do hereby respectfully represent
that:

8 WHEREAS, the U.S. Department of State, the
U.S. Department of Commerce and
9 the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
participated in the formation of the
10 Security and Prosperity Partnership of North
America (SPP) on March 23, 2005,
11 representing a trilateral agreement between
Canada, Mexico and the United
12 States designed, among other things, to
facilitate common regulatory schemes
13 between these countries; and
14 WHEREAS, reports issued by the SPP indicate
that it has implemented regu-
15 latory changes among the three countries that
circumvent United States trade,
16 transportation, homeland security and border
security functions and that it is
17 the intention of SPP to continue toward a North
American Union in the future;
18 and
19 WHEREAS, the actions taken by the SPP to
coordinate border security by
20 eliminating obstacles to migration between
Mexico and the United States actu-
21 ally makes the United States-Mexico border less
secure and more vulnerable to
22 possible terrorist activities, and Mexico is
the primary source country of
23 illegal immigrants, illegal drug entry and
illegal human smuggling into the
24 United States; and
25 WHEREAS, according to the U.S. Department
of Commerce, the United States
26 trade deficits with Mexico and Canada have
significantly increased since the
27 implementation of the North American Free
Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the
28 volume of imports from Mexico has soared since
NAFTA, straining security
29 checks at the U.S. border; and
30 WHEREAS, the economic and physical
security of the United States is
31 impaired by the potential loss of control of its
borders attendant to the full
32 operation of NAFTA and the SPP; and
33 WHEREAS, the regulatory and border security
changes implemented and pro-
34 posed by the SPP violate and threaten United
States sovereignty; and
35 WHEREAS, the NAFTA Superhighway System
from the west coast of Mexico
36 through the United States and into Canada has
been suggested as part of a
37 North American Union to facilitate trade between
the SPP countries; and
38 WHEREAS, the stability and economic
viability of the U.S. ports along the
39 western coast will be seriously compromised by
huge cargos off-loaded at
40 cheaper labor cost from foreign traders into the
ports of Mazatlan and Lazaro
41 Cardenas; and
42 WHEREAS, the state of Texas has already
approved and begun planning of the
43 Trans-Texas Corridor, a major multi-modal
transportation project beginning at
44 the United States-Mexico border, which would
serve as an initial section of

2

1 the NAFTA Superhighway System; and
2 WHEREAS, plans of Asian trading powers to
divert cargo from U.S. ports
3 such as Los Angeles to ports in Mexico
will only put pressure on border
4 inspectors, interfering with their already
overwhelming job of intercepting
5 the flow of drugs and illegals flowing into this
country; and
6 WHEREAS, future unrestricted foreign
trucking into the United States can
7 pose a safety hazard due to inadequate
maintenance and inspection, and the
8 Transportation Security Administration's (TSA)
lack of background checks for
9 violations in Mexico, lack of drug and alcohol
testing, lack of enforcement of
10 size and weight requirements and lack of national
security procedures, which
11 threaten the American people and undermine
the very charge given to our
12 homeland security agency to defend our borders
against these threats; and
13 WHEREAS, the Eisenhower National Highway
System was designed for the
14 national security of the United States for
movement of the military, purposes
15 of commerce from state to state, not from foreign
countries, and this highway
16 system should not be compromised by treaties
or agreements with other coun-
17 tries that would supplant the control and
management of our nation's highways
18 by our U.S. Department of Transportation and the
various states; and
19 WHEREAS, we strongly object to any treaty or
agreement, which threatens to
20 violate national security, private property,
United States commerce, constitu-
21 tional rights and American sovereignty and
emphasize our commitment to the
22 Pacific Northwest Economic Region (PNWER) and
other cooperative working
23 nations in mutual beneficial goals; and
24 WHEREAS, this trilateral partnership to
develop a North American Union has
25 never been presented to Congress as an agreement
or treaty, and has had virtu-
26 ally no congressional oversight; and
27 WHEREAS, recent reports on internet
news, Friday, January 26, 2007,
28 WorldNetDaily, stating that Congressman Poe (R-
Texas) asked about the U.S.
29 Department of Transportation's work with the
trade group North American Super-
30 Corridor Coalition, Inc. (NASCO) and the
department's plans to build the
31 Trans-Texas Corridor, Congressman Poe was told
that the NAFTA agreement super-
32 highway corridor plans exist to move goods from
Mexico through the United
33 States to Canada; and
34 WHEREAS, American citizens and state and
local governments throughout the
35 United States would be negatively impacted by the
SPP process.
36 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members
of the First Regular Session
37 of the Fifty-ninth Idaho Legislature, the House
of Representatives and the
38 Senate concurring therein, that we emphatically
urge and petition the Congress
39 of the United States and particularly the
congressional delegation represent-
40 ing the state of Idaho to use all efforts,
energies and diligence to withdraw
41 the United States from any further participation
in the Security and Prosper-
42 ity Partnership of North America or any other
bilateral or multilateral activ-
43 ity that seeks to advance, authorize, fund or in
any way promote the creation
44 of any structure to create any form of North
American Union.
45 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that House
Concurrent Resolution 40 of the First
46 Session of the 110th Congress addresses the
concern herein expressed by the
47 state of Idaho.
48 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we are asking
our congressional delegation,
49 our U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary
Mary E. Peters and President
50 Bush to reject appropriated federal fuel tax
dollars for such SPP or NAFTA
51 when there is such a need for fuel tax dollars to
be dedicated to the needs of
52 the states in the U.S. in order to maintain our
highway system.
53 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chief Clerk
of the House of Representa-
54 tives be, and she is hereby authorized and
directed to forward a copy of this
55 Memorial to the President of the Senate and the
Speaker of the House of Repre-

3

1 sentatives of Congress, and the congressional
delegation representing the

States.
