-2- our negotiations with the Mexican Government on the matter of the workers' agreement. The matter was mentioned to our negotiators on several occasions during the course of the negotiations as an example of anti-Mexican feeling in Texas. However, as stated above, concurrent press pub- licity accorded the plans for the Arlington burial appear to have a positive counteracting effect. Since the Department of State is primarily concerned with the maintenance of friendly relations between the United States and Mexico, any publicity of an adverse nature, even faintly indicating discrimination against Mexican people as such, is of course of great interest to this Division. My purpose in discussing this matter on several occasions with Mr. John Connally was in order to inform myself with regard to general developments and concerning the arrangements for the funeral, not only for the purpose of observing such developments with a view to their possi- ble effects on relations between the United States and Mexico as stated above, but because I wished to attend the funeral in the capacity of a private American citizen. Sincerely yours, Reveley Chief, Division of Mexican Affairs [2 of 3]
