-2- #1086, December 10, 6 p.m. from Mexico City
I emphasize that this power situation is extremely
serious and will get worse. This is causing very
difficult economic and political problem and if
remedial measures are not taken will have adverse
effect on new administration. It is my considered
opinion that we should do everything reasonably
possible to help Mexico in this power crisis and
particularly so because this request is our first
official contact with new government. I am confident
that this assistance given now will strengthen the
new regime, will cause a highly favorable public
reaction and will be more effective in cementing good
relations than several acts of assistance granted
later. I therefore recommend that everything
reasonably possible be done to meet Mexico's request
for this mobile power unit. Full details by following
despatch but telegraphic reply requested.
