Plans to merge 34 countries of North and South America and the Caribbean into a supra-national government modeled after the European Union hit some snags at the recent hemispheric summit in Miami. However, the Bush administration is continuing the Clinton administration's commitment to complete a formal agreement on the merger by 2005.
