The Chargé in Mexico (Lane) to the Secretary of State
[Received 4:20 p.m.]
269. In an interview given to press representatives yesterday evening President Ortiz Rubio stated that he could not say exactly when the Lamont-Montes de Oca agreement would be discussed in Congress but that he believed it would be soon. He added that he had asked that the Senators and Deputies study the question painstakingly since there may have been error on the part of the Executive and that therefore Congress should carefully analyze the legal, political and economic aspects of the agreement.
According to the best information available to us the agreement has not as yet been formally submitted to Congress by the Executive.
