ADDRESS OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS TO"THE SECRETARY OF STATEWASHINGTON 25, D. C.# DEPARTMENT OF STATEWASHINGTON9999# SECRETFEB 1 8 1964# MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENTSubject: Your Meeting with President Lopez MateosWe do not expect to make any major political decisions but want to give new emphasis to the friendly relations which exist between Mexico and the United States. These relations are now at an all-time high. Mexico felt it had a real friend in President Kennedy. They feel the same relationship exists with you but want to be reassured. A warm Texas handshake and *abrazo* when you greet Lopez Mateos at Los Angeles would symbolize the continuance of that relationship.We want to stress the identity of interests of our two countries and our ability to work out in the "spirit of El Chamizal" any problems that may arise between us.Despite the informal atmosphere of the visit, we should give scrupulous attention to Mexico's extreme sensitivity on sovereign equality and Mexico's strong desire to avoid any appearance of subservience to the United States.Lopez Mateos speaks for the Mexican Government and no important decision is made without his approval. He has followed an "independent" foreign policy but knows that good relations with us, especially in the economic sphere, are essential to his country. At times his foreign policy has been too independent--for example on Cuba and in commercial and cultural relations with Communist China.But# SECRETGROUP 2Exempted fromNW 50955 DocId: 32205112 Page 2

SECRET-2-But when fundamental issues are at stake we have usually found him understanding and willing to be helpful--controlling travel of Castro agents, non-recognition of Red China, offering help on Panama.Lopez Mateos has chosen his successor, Gustavo DIAZ Ordaz, who will take office in December 1964 after elections in July. Power is therefore drifting toward Diaz Ordaz.Enclosed is a paper on points which it is suggested you raise at the meeting, and those which it is believed Lopez Mateos will raise./s/ Dean RuskDean RuskEnclosure:Paper on points to be raised at the meetingSECRET

SECRET# MAJOR POINTS OF INTEREST TO THE UNITED STATES## 1. General Information and Hemisphere RelationsWe desire to continue close working relations with Mexico both within and outside the OAS and the UN.We hope Mexico will continue to use its key political and geographic position to help control Castro/Communism. Mexico is very sensitive about publicizing its cooperation and we have carefully avoided any public comment on Mexican control measures.Mexico has offered its assistance on Panama. Mexico is not aware of the role of President Orlich of Costa Rica in mediation efforts and we do not desire that this come to Mexico's attention. We welcome Mexico's assistance within an OAS context.## 2. Red ChinaThe coming visit of De Gaulle to Mexico and Brazil in March has prompted speculation that these two countries are about to recognize Red China. Lopez Mateos has given us secret assurances, through CIA channels, that he has no intention of recognizing Red China. We do not desire to raise this issue, but if Lopez Mateos raises it, we should let him know we are aware of his assurances.## 3. Mexico's Role in the Alliance for ProgressMexico's participation in the Alliance is essential to its success. Mexico has played a leading role in IA-ECOSOC and has named the Director General of the Bank of Mexico as its representative to CIAP. It has cooperated with us in providing extensive training facilities for Latin American technicians. We want to encourage Mexico to make a greater contributionSECRETNW 50955 DocId:32205112 Page 4

We should continue to cooperate withMexico in maintaining financial stability and promotingeconomic development.4. Disputed Tracts on Rio GrandeThere remain several tracts on the Rio Grande overwhich sovereignty is in dispute. We desire to have theInternational Boundary and Water Commission study theseproblems and recommend a solution.5. Control of NarcoticsMexico and the United States are cooperating incontrolling the importation of narcotics and dangerousdrugs into the United States. We should strengthen thiscooperation in the mutual interest of both countries. Wehope therefore that Mexico will agree to periodic meetingsof the highest law enforcement officers of the two countries.6. Desalinization Plant at TijuanaAn appraisal report by Interior shows that this isthe most economical way to supply water to Tijuana. Weare prepared to go ahead with a feasibility study ifMexico desires and will share the cost.MAJOR POINTS LOPEZ MATEOS IS EXPECTED TO RAISE1. Salinity Problem on Lower ColoradoThe Mexican President wants a reaffirmation of Presi-dent Kennedy's commitment "to reach a permanent and effect-ive solution at the earliest possible time" of the salinityproblem. We can agree but should avoid any commitment ontiming. If Lopez Mateos raises the related problem of thegroundwaterSECRET

Bracero ProgramThe Mexican Government is privately seriouslydisturbed about the termination of this program. Con-gressional opposition to it is strong and we cannot commitourselves to continue the program. We are looking into theproblem to see if anything can be done to help Mexico. Onepossibility is an expanded community development programin Mexico through private channels (P.L.480 foodstuffsthrough U. S. voluntary agencies) if Mexico is interested.3. Mexico's Concern about U. S. Trade PoliciesMexico is concerned about United States restrictionsor threatened restrictions on textiles, lead, zinc andmeat and other products and United States cotton policieswhich it claims hurt Mexican cotton exports to the worldmarket. We recognize that we are natural markets for eachother. We desire to expand trade, promote competition anddevelop markets. We want to maintain or expand the presentlevel of access to each other's market but we would not beable to guarantee Mexico its present share of our market ineach commodity or a share in increased consumption.4. Chamizal SettlementLopez Mateos wants to be recorded in history as theman who returned the Mexican flag to the Chamizal. Hewants a ceremony at the Presidential level at El Paso-CiudadJuarez before December 1964 to symbolize the Chamizal settle-ment.

1. South Vietnama. Vietnamese Communist forces kept up their high post-coup level of activity over the weekend.b. The most significant action was an attack early yesterday morning against a US special forces training camp some 30 miles from Saigon.c. When the smoke cleared after a sharp fight, four US soldiers were missing and at least 35 South Vietnamese were dead.d. Late yesterday morning, the Viet Cong shot down two aircraft supporting a government operation in the extreme south, and damaged twelve more. Two more Americans are missing in this action.e. Back in Saigon, the new regime's troubles with the ambitious General Ton That Dinh continue.f. He is still angling to get control of the important strategic hamlet program and has yet to give up command of the Third Corps, which the generals assigned to another of their number earlier in the month. This corps is of particular significance in that it surrounds Saigon.For The President Only - Top Secret
