The Mrs. said that the trucking provisions weren't in the treaty. They were binding regulations added later. That's what I mixed up...and that's why she gets paid to be the journalist, and I don't...

Thanks. I found some stuff at Heritage and elsewhere that claimed that U.S. trucks were allowed into Mexico as late as 2001, but then Vicente Fox threatened to close his border to our trucks if we didn't open ours to his. I cannot find anything that indicates the current state of this dispute. I know that it hasn't gone to the WTO, so it has either been resolved or is in the process.
