I wonder if any on pen-l can help with resources (especially
published ones) on two related topics:
1. The extent to which AFL-CIO orientation has moved away from
AIFLD counter-subversion orientation in post-NAFTA period.
Either in practice or in statements of contending leaders.
2. Any treatments of AFL-CIO participation in National Endowmwnt
for Democracy - (I have the policy report of the Council on
Hemispheric Affairs and Inter-Hemispheric Education Resource
Center- "NED:A Foreign Policy Branch Gone Awry" and the July/
Aug '95 _Z_ article by Jim Smith). Any references specifically
to Mexico would be appreciated.
I have been interested since NAFTA first emerged to see change in policy
direction and have (debate) students interested in developing a fuller
case in connection with this year's national collegiate topic: that the
U.S. should fundamentally change its foreign policy toward Mexico.
Thanks for any help, Maury Foisy
