Fox backs limited truth commission for past Mexico woes
President Fox urged a focused truth commission to probe select past abuses while avoiding a broad audit that could stall progress. He cited Chiapas 1997 as desired for investigation but warned against rehashing the 1968 student massacre. Fox graphically noted economic gains and a slower U.S. market, and outlined plans to legalize Mexican migrants in the United States with temporary permits.

Egyptian diplomat Amr Rashdy calls the outcome fair and acceptable.
