CLINTON P. ANDERSON COMMITTEES: NEW MEXICO AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY INTERIOR AND INSULAR AFFAIRS United States Senate WASHINGTON, D.C. May 26, 1949 THE WHITE HOUSE MAY 27 8 18 AM '49 RECEIVED The President The White House Washington, D. C. My dear Mr. President: You will remember that I talked to you last Saturday about the labor situation in the X x407 mise Rio Grande Valley of Texas and New Mexico and also in California. I pointed out that the State Department X 20 misc was not getting anywhere with its negotiations with Mexico and particularly urged that the Im- migration Service at El Paso should be reminded that they are not administering this nation and that they should not do as they tried to do last summer - override the President of the United States. The El Paso boy is still busy. Yesterday I had a call from Fort Stockton, Texas telling me how they had gone to Simmons' farm and pulled off all of the Old Mexico Mexicans. The man who did it said they were under instructions to get them all back to Mexico. It happened that Simmons had lost his planting due to a storm and was replanting and now he is completely without labor. If you a referring the matter to Tom Clark here is a concrete example of the way they are messing things up. Cant Sincerely yours, Clinton P. Anderson CPA:d
