Abstract	Fronteras 1976 is a bicentennial project, coordinated by two cities that share a common geographic region--San Diego, California, and Tijuana, Mexico. The project, developed from the need for structured binational cooperation in this region, focuses on the quality of life for the next century, especially the mutual opportunities and mutual problems of the two cities. The proceedings of the May 1976 plenary session are contained in this document. "A View of the Border from Mexico was the theme. The key address discussed the close ties and resulting impact of one country's actions on the other. The former Mexican Under Secretary of Commerce for Border Development then reviewed the economic growth in the border regions of the United States. The economic progress of the border was discussed along with border problems. A sociological paper was presented which challenged the existing definition of the illegal alien situation as a potential self-fulfilling prophecy with adverse consequences. An architect stressed the need for future binational planning efforts in the context of physical problems facing the people of the region. A senior mexican diplomat who is a specialist on international education concluded the conference by speaking about defining the role of educational exchange in international relations. (Author/ND)
