We discuss the connection between models of fermion masses and mixing
involving a string-motivated flavor/generation U(1)A​ gauge symmetry and the
μ term. We point out that in a certain class of such models the flavor
physics can provide an appealing solution to the μ problem, naturally
yielding a μ∼O(mW​​). A simple relationship between the U(1)A​
charge qH​ of the μ-term and the average generational U(1)A​ charges
of the down quark and leptonic sectors is derived. Finally, we construct an
explicit model illustrating our results.Comment: 12 pages, Latex Fil
