DuMARS* I. INTRODUCTION The nations of Mexico and the United States are drawn together by numerous economic, political, and historical forces. While our common history as developing nations of the new world is significant and im- migration policies are likewise critical, the most significant force pulling us together is our growing economic interdependence. This economic interdependence is reflected in the extensive changes over the past three years in Mexico's foreign investment laws. These changes cannot be understood in a vacuum. They make sense only in a historical context and with an understanding of the economic forces that have shaped them. This article begins by exploring Mexico's debt crisis and its current economic position in the world economy. This discussion is followed by a review of the history leading up to the current foreign investment laws. These laws are examined in detail, with particular emphasis on the Maquiladora program. -

Part 629 – Glossary of Landform and Geologic Terms
Title 430 – National Soil Survey Handbook Part 629 – Glossary of Landform and Geologic Terms Subpart A – General Information 629.0 Definition and Purpose This glossary provides the NCSS soil survey program, soil scientists, and natural resource specialists with landform, geologic, and related terms and their definitions to— (1) Improve soil landscape description with a standard, single source landform and geologic glossary. (2) Enhance geomorphic content and clarity of soil map unit descriptions by use of accurate, defined terms. (3) Establish consistent geomorphic term usage in soil science and the National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS). (4) Provide standard geomorphic definitions for databases and soil survey technical publications. (5) Train soil scientists and related professionals in soils as landscape and geomorphic entities. 629.1 Responsibilities This glossary serves as the official NCSS reference for landform, geologic, and related terms. The staff of the National Soil Survey Center, located in Lincoln, NE, is responsible for maintaining and updating this glossary. Soil Science Division staff and NCSS participants are encouraged to propose additions and changes to the glossary for use in pedon descriptions, soil map unit descriptions, and soil survey publications. The Glossary of Geology (GG, 2005) serves as a major source for many glossary terms. The American Geologic Institute (AGI) granted the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) permission (in letters dated September 11, 1985, and September 22, 1993) to use existing definitions. Sources of, and modifications to, original definitions are explained immediately below. 629.2 Definitions A.

FACETS OF TEXAS LEGAL HISTORY Frances Spears Cloyd* OR three hundred years Spain ruled vast areas in the Western hemisphere. She regarded these colonial possessions as being en- tirely the King's, for his use and benefit. She exploited them for royal profit through a tight trade monopoly and extended her laws into them. Her domination was approaching an end when the Anglo-Ameri- cans began to come into Texas. Moses Austin got permission from the Spanish government to take a colony into Texas in 1821. He died before he was able to complete his project and bequeathed the responsibility to his son, Stephen. In this same year Mexico and Spain were clashing. Iturbide led a pow- erful liberal movement based on unity of all classes, independence under a Bourbon prince with power limited by a constitution, and protection of the Catholic Church. Mexico proclaimed her independence from Spain and proceeded to the drafting of an extremely complex constitution.' It was completed and promulgated in 1824. -

Autumn 1999 567 Pregnancy Discrimination in Mexico's Maquiladora System: Mexico's Violation of its Obligations under NAFTA and the NAALC LaurieJ Bremer* I. Introduction. Pregnancy discrimination is a form of sex discrimination based on a woman's preg- nancy status.1 This is considered a form of sex discrimination specifically because it is dis- crimination based on a condition that is unique to women. 2 In Mexico's maquiladora sector several "legally objectionable practices" occur based on pregnancy status: hiring based on pregnancy status, forced resignations, job altering or reassignment, and violations of health and safety laws.3 Pregnancy discrimination is a regular occurrence in Mexico's maquilado- ras, is an invasion of a woman's right to privacy, and can sometimes be an unlawful restraint 4 on a woman's ability to choose the spacing and number of her children. -

GEOLOGY: N. M. FENNEMAN 17 PHYSIOGRAPHIC SUBDIVISION OF THE UNITED STATES By Nevin M. Fenneman DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI Communicated by W. M. Davis, November 24, 1916 Various attempts at subdivision of the United States into physio- graphic provinces have been made, beginning with- that of Powell.' The Association of American Geographers, recognizing the fundamental importance of this problem, appointed a committee in 1915 to prepare a suitable map of physiographic divisions. The committee consists of Messrs. M. R. Campbell and F. E. Matthes of the U. S. Geological Survey and Professors Eliot Blackwelder, D. W. Johnson, and Nevin M. Fenneman (chairman). The map herewith presented and the ac- companying table of divisions constitute the report of that committee. The same map on a larger scale (120 miles to the inch) will be found in Volume VI of the Annals of the Association of American Geographers, accompanying a paper by the writer on the Physiographic Divisions of the United States. In that paper are given the nature of the bound- ary lines and those characteristics of the several units which are believed to justify their recognition as such. Though the above-named com- mittee is not directly responsible for the statements there made, many of them represent the results of the committee's conferences. The paper as a whole is believed to represent fairly well the views of the committee, though in form the greater part of it is a revision of a former publication.2 The basis of division shown on this map, here reproduced, is physio- graphic or, as might be said in Europe, morphologic. -
