Description

Clinton to a California Congressman: "I do not believe that either party should benefit from exploiting the NAFTA issue in electoral politics"

TLS as president, one page, 8.5 x 11, White House letterhead, November 17, 1993. Letter to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead of California, in full: "Please accept my sincere appreciation and great respect for your vote in support of the North American Free Trade Agreement. You and your colleagues who have helped to pass NAFTA may take lasting pride in this momentous vote. We have come through a difficult debate with many competing pressures. The historic nature of NAFTA and the intense feelings on both sides of the issue and on both sides of the aisle mean it would be best for the House and for our political system if this issue were not re-fought in the 1994 Congressional elections. Since I have sought the support of all members of the House of Representatives for the NAFTA implementing legislation as a matter of compelling national interest, I will do my utmost to personally encourage a campaign in which anti-NAFTA candidates will not use this issue against pro-NAFTA members, regardless of party, in the coming election. I do not believe that either party should benefit from exploiting the NAFTA issue in electoral politics, and I will personally discourage such NAFTA-related campaigning. You have my gratitude for having helped achieve this great success." In fine condition, with three file holes in the left margin.
