Res Folix Longoria
February 25, 1949
to pasa along the story as I had told it to the Minister of State.
Mro Reveley at that time and that he was going to talk to Ambassador
Thurston in City and give him the full story in order that
he might take some action to see that the story was not played up
too mach in the Mexcionn presa because the American representatives
were on their way to Mexico city to begin negotiations on the Worloers
Agreement.
Mr. Reveley pointed out that in the past fow years, including last
year, that the agreement in which the United States signed with
Meocico concerning worlcers entering the United States during
certair, periods of the year to harvest erops, stc., excluded Texas
because of incidents which had arison regarding the treatment of
Mexcican labor in the State. lit. Reveley told me that he thought
that the incident might have a disasterous affect on their negotiations
unless they were able to present the solution in such a way as to
counteract the incident itself. Mr. Reveley explained that the people
in Texas had bitterly complained, and justifiably so, about the United
States signing an agreement with a foreign country which agreement
discriminated against one of our states (nanely, Texas), and that
the State Department was doing everything in its power to work out
a naw agreement whereby Texan would be included in the treaty as
all other states.
From that day on I taliced almost daily to lir. Reveley about the matter.
He was extromely interested comming all the details. when at one
time it appeared that the funeral might be hald at Three Rivers 03
Fort Sam Houston, Mir. Reveley said "Although the State Department
could take no official action since all participants in the matter
were American citizens, yot they were deeply interested in the matter
and he hoped that wo would do everything possible to 806 that the
funeral WBLS held at the Arlington Cemetery and that 1t be made into
as bd.g an occession as possible, with as many notables present as
possible. He stated that his only interest again was in seeing that
the burial itself was of such moment that it would completely overcome
the incident itself in the minds of the Mexican Government."
At one time when I told lir. Reveley that Felix Longoria world probably
be buried along with 19 other doad, Reveley asiced that we hold
a separate funeral for Felix Longoria and that he not be buried with
the other 19.
I leept Mr. Revoley informed generally of the arrangements concerning
the body and the various dates aet for the funcral. He continued
to call ne about the matter, emphasizing the importance that it
might have, all be it unoficially, on our negotiations and relations
