Congressman Crosser
Secretary Acheson returned the Congressman's call of Monday
this afternoon. The Congressman indicated he was planning to leave
fairly soon for a trip to Europe with members of his Committee, and
he was very anxious to get action on the Mexican oil matter completed
as soon as possible. The Secretary said that he had meant to come
down to see him as had been promised but that other Congressional
hearings, etc, had prevented his arranging for another talk with the
Congressman.
Mr. Crosser said that he thought that if he could get a representative
of the Bank and the State Department together with bim
that he would be able to convince them of the soundness of his ylew.
Congressman Crosser indicated that the President had said efery time
he had seen him that he concurred in the Congressman's position.
Mr. Crosser said that he felt sure that Mr. Acheson would agree also
if they could discuss the matter in detail. At the Congressman's sug-
gestion, the Secretary designated Mr. Winthrop Brown to represent him
in discussions with Congressman Crosser and a representative of the
Bank. The Secretary indicated that Mr. Brown would be completely
authorized to speak for him in a preliminary investigation and that
the Secretary himself would be closely in touch with the matter and
would probably discuss it with Congressman Crosser at a later date.

statements which the President had made in press conferences of late
