U.S., Mexico resume talks on proposed natural gas sale United Press International WASHINGTON — The United States and Mexico resumed their deadlocked natural gas negotiations, but the State Department made clear neither side is under pressure to reach agreement before this month’s U.S.-Mexican summit. Deputy Secretary of State War ren Christopher left for Mexico Wednesday for further talks on the sale of Mexican natural gas to the United States and other issues on the U.S.-Mexican agenda. Christopher’s second trip to Mexico City in less than a month came just a week before the Sept. 28-29 state visit to Washington of Mexican president Jose Lopez Por tillo. State Department spokesman Hodding Carter stressed Lopez Por tillo’s visit is not directly related to the natural gas issue and will go for ward — whether or not an agree ment is reached before his arrival in Washington. “These talks are expected to cover a number of issues and I don’t want to stress the natural gas issue be cause it would in fact simply over emphasize what is one function of many on this trip,” Carter said. “The talks about a natural gas agreement have proceeded inde pendently of the president’s visit here.
