'eresa Fritz crowned Miss Texas A&M University ises the fi Border checks relaxed Associated Press HOUSTON — The intensive ve hicle searches that have snarled traf fic crossing the border and strained U.S.-Mexico relations are being eased, a U.S. Customs spokesman said Sunday. Charles Conroy, public affairs di rector for the customs region that in cludes Texas, New Mexico and Ari zona, said operations along the entire 1,760-mile U.S.-Mexico bor der should return to normal by Monday night. The time-consuming searches be gan on Feb. 15. U.S. officials said they were looking for clues about the Feb. 7 abduction in Guadalajara, Mexico, of Enrique Camarena Sala zar, an agent of the U.S. Drug En forcement Administration. “The U.S. Customs Service will begin returning to gradually a more normal operation today beginning at 8 a.m. today,” Conroy said Sunday. “We will still be keeping an alert for information on the missing DEA agent.” Conroy said orders to relax the searches came from customs head quarters in Washington early Sun day morning. Mexican officials have com plained that the huge traffic jams created by the searches cut the num ber of tourists visiting the Mexican border towns and caused businesses to sustain heavy financial losses.

Teresa Fritz Many Ciudad Juarez residents have been boycotting businesses in El Paso, Texas, where thousands of Mexicans work and shop daily. In Tijuana, across from San Diego, Calif., a radio and newspaper advertising campaign is urging Mex ican residents not to visit the United States. Mexico’s ambassador to the United States, Jorge Espinosa de los Reyes, last week delivered a note to U.S. officials expressing “deep con cern” by the Mexican government over the inspections. Despite the deployment of hun dreds of federal police on the Cama rena case and a $50,000 reward of fered by the United States, there has been no hint of the agent’s fate.
