international affairs, brought his wife
to Texas A&M for the first time to
show her the campus and to partici

stayed at President Jarvis E. Miller’s
house and attended Bonfire and
game with the Millers.
Valdez said the University has
changed a great deal since he gradu
ated 15 years ago, but that the
change was impressive. There were
about one-fifth as many students and
’64 was the last class before women
were admitted, he said.
“The new building construction
and the progress the school has
undergone is very impressive.”
Valdez said the interest the Texas
A&M faculty has in international
affairs is very encouraging. He hopes
its interests continue to grow in that
direction.
Valdez has many responsibilities
as chief of protocol.
He works directly with the 129
foreign embassies located in
Washington and is responsible for
their safety. He coordinates protocol
matters for presidential and vice
presidential trips and advises them
on diplomatic procedure governed
by law or international custom and
practice. He also inanages Blair
House — the president’s guest
house.
