In a move to reconcile competing environmental, economic and foreign policy concerns, the Bush Administration on Wednesday proposed to lift a ban on imported Mexican tuna in exchange for ongoing reductions in dolphin kills by Mexico's tuna fleet. Officials said the proposal, if enacted by Congress, would reduce dolphin kills by 500,000 between now and the year 2000 while removing an irritant in U.S.-Mexico trade relations.
