Abstract

[From the Introduction]. Today, May 23rd, 1991, Congress endorsed extending fast-track authority for trade talks to continue negotiations on the GATT and to conclude a North American free-trade agreement with Mexico and Canada. Many Americans believe passage of accords wil enhance our supremacy in science and technology, especially in light of European Community projects in R & D. I for one am very doubtful that such agreements will alter our race with the E.C. member states as we face our most formidable nonmilitary challenge in this century - the EuroRevolution. Victory will not only be measured by economic leaps forward, but by the ability to sustain our lead in science and technology.
