CONFIDENTIAL
(48th meeting)
Section on 23 July 1946 stating the War Department had looked into
this matter and, because of obvious difficulty in ascertaining which
Mexican officers had attended the various schools, the Mexican Section
was asked to furnish the names of all officers who had attended service
schools in the United States since 1941 or were attending at present,
so that the work here would be somewhat facilitated.
Colonel Deerwester further pointed out during discussion at
this meeting, that the work involved, both in Mexico and here, might
be out of proportion to the benefit gained in obtaining such informa-
tion as regards students in the past; and that, as regards present
students, he understood that the Foreign Liaison Branch of the War
Department was furnishing such information to Mexican authorities
upon completion of students' courses, although he did not know how
such information was channeled.
General Cabrera stated that this was not being done, and that
he would appreciate having a report on each student as he completes
his courses here. Colonel Deerwester is to follow this matter up
with the War Department's Foreign Liaison Branch and inform General
Cabrera of his findings.
Colonel Deerwester took occasion to ask if the Mexican Section
knew whether the Mexican Secretariat of National Defense desired the
marks and other such records only for officers who had come here for
training for the 201st Mexican Fighter Squadron. Colonel Chagoya
stated he believed they were primarily interested in those officers
who had taken courses at Fort Leavenworth, but he was not sure on
this point, and General Cabrera added that he did not know exactly
what the Secretariat of National Defense had in mind, but he would
try to get more details as to their desires. In the meantime, Colonel
Deerwester will try to ascertain status of the matter as regards
present-day students.
7. TRAINING.
General Henry presented a memorandum dated 1 November 1946, to
the Mexican Section, giving that Section certain information on
available training for pilots and enlisted men mechanics, which,
though not exactly what was requested in memorandum from the Mexican
Section of 24 July 1946, may meet their requirements. The subject
of this memorandum is "Mexican Request for Training of Pilots and
Mechanics". It is presented with the view that the Mexican Govern-
ment may desire to review and revise their original request.
8.
