Re/orting in =une #$$% to the heads of state of the three countries' the trilateral SPP
em/hasized the e)tensi3e wor4ing grou/ structure that had een estalished to /ursue an
amitious agenda5
!n carr.ing out .our instructions' we estalished wor4ing grou/s under
oth agendas of the Partnershi/ > Securit. and Pros/erit.* &e held
roundtales with sta4eholders' meetings with usiness grou/s and riefing
sessions with ;egislatures' as well as with other rele3ant /olitical
,urisdictions* (he result is a detailed series of actions and
recommendations designed to increase the com/etiti3eness of North
America and the securit. of our /eo/le*
(his is not a theoretical e)ercise eing /re/ared so it can e sumitted for re3iew*
!nstead' SPP is /roducing an action agreement to e im/lemented directl. . regulations'
without an. en3isioned direct Congressional o3ersight*
U/on .our re3iew and a//ro3al' we will once again meet with
sta4eholders and wor4 with them to im/lement the wor4/lans that we
ha3e de3elo/ed*
And again' the =une #$$% SPP re/ort stresses5
(he success of our efforts will e defined less . the contents of the wor4
/lans than . the actual im/lementation of initiati3es and strategies that
will ma4e North America more /ros/erous and more secure*
Re3iewing the s/ecific wor4ing agenda initiati3es' the goal to im/lement directl. is
a//arent* Nearl. e3er. wor4 /lan is characterized . action ste/s descried 3ariousl. as
-our three countries signed a +ramewor4 of Common Princi/les ?0 or -we ha3e signed a
"emorandum of Understanding ?'0 or -we ha3e signed a declaration of intent ?0 etc*
@nce again' none of the A$ or so wor4ing agendas ma4es an. mention of sumitting
decisions to the U*S* Congress for re3iew and a//ro3al* No new U*S* laws are
contem/lated for the Bush administration to sumit to Congress* !nstead' the /lan is
o3iousl. to 4nit together the North American Union com/letel. under the radar' through
a /rocess of regulations and directi3es issued . 3arious U*S* go3ernment agencies*
&hat we ha3e here is an e)ecuti3e ranch /lan eing im/lemented . the Bush
administration to construct a new su/er6regional structure com/letel. . fiat* Bet' we
can find no single s/eech in which President Bush has e3er o/enl. e)/ressed to the
American /eo/le his intention to create a North American Union . e3ol3ing NA+(A
into this NA+(A6Plus as a first' im/lementing ste/*
An.one who has wondered wh. President Bush has not othered to secure our orders is
ad3ised to s/end some time e)amining the SPP wor4ing grou/sC agenda* !n e3er. area of
acti3it.' the SPP agenda stresses free and o/en mo3ement of /eo/le' trade' and ca/ital
within the North American Union* @nce the SPP agenda is im/lemented with
a//ro/riate de/artmental regulations' there will e no area of immigration /olic.' trade
rules' en3ironmental regulations' ca/ital flows' /ulic health' /lus dozens of other 4e.
/olic. areas countries that the U*S* go3ernment will e ale to decide alone' or without
first consulting with some a//ro/riate North American Union regulator. od.* At est'
our order with "e)ico will ecome a s/eed um/' largel. erased' with little remaining
to restrict the essentiall. free mo3ement of /eo/le' trade' and ca/ital*
Canada has estalished an SPP wor4ing grou/ within their +oreign Affairs de/artment*
"e)ico has /laced the SPP within the office of the Secretaria de 8conomia and created
and e)tensi3e wesite for the Alianza Para ;a Securidad . ;a Pros/eridad de Am<ica del

lateral /rocess to create a ma,or integration of North America*0
(he e)tensi3e wor4ing grou/ acti3it. eing im/lemented right now . the go3ernment of
"e)ico' Canada' and the United States is consistent with the lue/rint laid out in the "a.
#$$% re/ort of the Council on +oreign Relations 1C+R2' titled -Building a North
