FROM:

Attached is the letter you asked me to track down. I ran into several
roadblocks because McGovern people according to sources in his
office are trying their best to keep this letter from getting wide cir-
culation. Sources say the feeling is that he should not have written
it, and they fear it will create controversy. The letter was made
available to us by a Mexican correspondent.
In comparing the letter to the news story that was written, please
bear in mind the journalistic license taken by Latin correspondents.
This has usually been their style. The letter makes no reference
to Brazil, Cuba or Chile, but the story inferred this even to the
extent of creating a quote. I will recheck again with my source to
make sure we have the same letter which the news story refers to.
My feeling and my experience tells me that it is, but I will confirm
this.
