I am delighted to have been asked to kick off this remarkable roundtable discussion. My primary role here will be to introduce Ambassador Green who will introduce the panel and others on the discussion for today.

So our business has been very tightly connected to u. S. Mexico trade since the implementation of nafta 25, 27 years ago. We are now in the process of merging with a canadian national, also one of the largest Transportation Railroad companies in North America. The combination will create a Rail Network that is unmatched across North America. And it is our belief that the opportunity for Trade Growth across all three countries is just a fantastic opportunity for North America.
