		Because of the many activist groups, left-wing political parties, and strong unions in Central America, CAFTA is seen as a critical step towards FTAA, since imported and exported goods passing to and from the rest of Latin America will have to travel through this region.

	Inter-American Highway 1940 - 1957
		IN contrast to the U.S., the Central American countries went from the ox-cart to the airplane transportation-wise, with roads or highways almost non-existent except for those within the principle cities or towns.
		It may be of interest to note that the lack of land transport between the Central American countries was the apparent cause of what I consider to have been a noticeable absence of cultural exchange, inter-country political rapport, or commerce.
		The Corps moved into each Central American republic with U.S. cost-plus-fee contractors with what was apparently limitless funds, and a war priority classification, which classification was also granted to the BPR effort.

	Congress Should Support Free Trade with Central America and the Dominican Republic
		The Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua are small countries that have an economic importance to the United States that exceeds their size.
		The free trade agreement is nearly identical to the access that the Dominican Republic and Central America already have through the United States–Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act, except that it would extend duty-free access to garments made with inputs from Canada or Mexico— free trade partners with the U.S. through NAFTA.
		Congress is doing American consumers a disservice by failing to liberalize the sugar and textile sectors, but Members of Congress should not compound their error by rejecting a free trade agreement that would have little impact on those favored sectors and that promises economic gains for America.
