Gatt Ministerial Meeting Punta Del Este, Uruguay, Clayton K. Yeutter

Clayton K. Yeutter, United States Secretary of Agriculture: Papers

Mr. Chairman, fellow delegates, this week GATT faces an historic challenge. Our task is more difficult than any that has confronted world trade since the very creation of GATT in 1947.

Improving And Strengthening The Trade System, Clayton K. Yeutter Jan 1986

Improving And Strengthening The Trade System, Clayton K. Yeutter

Clayton K. Yeutter, United States Secretary of Agriculture: Papers

I urge our communique contain a vigorous, unequivocal endorsement for launching a new round with a comprehensive agenda, in September. Delegations in Geneva will go over the text of our communique very carefully, and they will judge our determination by both the tone and substance of our statement. We therefore must clearly set forth our desire to begin the new round, without delay.
