This is what I came up with, let me know please if there is problem that I am overlooking.

SELECT * FROM header WHERE alltrim(dist) IN (SELECT alltrim(dist) FROM agreemnt WHERE begdate <=date() AND enddate>=date())

I had to put the alltrim on dist because without it FoxPro thinks it's short for DISTINCT.
