Peter DeShazo, director of the CSIS Americas Program, was quoted by the Associated Press, "Bush's Final North American Summit."

Bush joins Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mexican President Felipe Calderon today in New Orleans for his fourth and final North American Leaders' Summit. [...]
"The progress tends to be incremental, and therefore is not widely understood," said Peter DeShazo, a top State Department official for Western Hemisphere affairs during Bush's first term. "But in the big picture, there's a more coherent relationship."
