  We consider supersymmetric models in which a (pseudo) Goldstone
supermultiplet plays the role of the messenger of supersymmetry breaking. Such
models lead to a highly predictive form of flavor and CP conserving soft terms,
particularly the soft scalar masses and trilinear couplings vanish at the scale
where the (approximate) global symmetry is spontaneously broken. We discuss
also the possibility for realizing this scheme in supergravity models derived
from string theories.
