MEXICO CITY (AP) — The U.S.
Embassy is again issuing non-immi
grant visas this week after improved
security measures were put into ef
fect during a four-month shutdown,
a spokesman said Tuesday.
Vincent Hovanec, the embassy’s
press attache, said about 600 visas
were processed Monday, the first
time the office has been open since
April.
The shutdown was ordered after
numerous bomb threats were re
ceived at the embassy following the
April 15 attack on two Libyan cities
by U.S. military aircraft. Days later, a
homemade bomb was deactivated in
a car parked next to the embassy.
“The bomb threats were a threat
not only to the embassy itself and all
the U.S. and Mexican citizens who
work there, but also to the 1,000 or
so Mexicans who were literally cir
cling the building every day,” Hova
nec said.
He said the office had been closed
until adequate security measures
could be put into effect.
Among the measures are a new
building constructed in what had
been a parking lot behind the em
bassy to take care of visa requests
and other high-traffic matters.
“We are the third largest visa-issu
ing post in the U.S. foreign service,
so we handle a tremendous volume
of people, between 1,000 to 1,250
per day,” Hovanec said.
The embassy remained open to
renew expired visas but did not issue
any new visas in the past four
months, Hovanec said.
Visa applicants now enter the area
from Rio Lerma, the street behind
the embassy, instead of using the
front entrance on the major Re
forma Boulevard. The sidestreet
where the car bomb was found also
remains closed to traffic.
Mexicans not wanting to wait for
the visa office to reopen here for
tourist or business trips to the
United States had to go to one of the
U.S. consular offices in nine provin
cial cities.
At the consulate in the northern
industrial city of Monterrey, just a
three-hour drive from the U.S. bor

GOP forecast to gain
6 governors’ chairs
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.
(AP) — Democratic National Chair
man Paul Kirk said Tuesday his par
ty’s past divisiveness has been re
versed and he discounted
Republican predictions the GOP will
gain six governors’ mansions.
“The period of soul searching of
the Democratic Party is over,” Kirk
told reporters after a meeting of the
Democratic Governors Association
at the National Governors Associa
tion conference.
“I see a growing consensus
around a future agenda, especially
in the economic area,” he said.
Democrats hold 34 of the gover
nors’ seats, but New Hampshire
Gov. John H. Sununu, newly elected
chairman of the Republican Gover
nors Association, said the GOP feels
it can come close to evening the
odds.
“We think this is a year we could
pick up a half dozen,” Sununu told
reporters.
The Republicans will concentrate
on states where President Reagan re
ceived at least 60 percent of the vote
and governors are leaving office, he
said.
“But we have to be selective,” he
said. ‘T he question is where we can
make a difference.”
The GOP will concentrate on the
Rocky Mountain states, Maine and
South Carolina, but not Texas, Sun
unu said. “Texas is such an expan
sive state . . . we can't (make a differ
ence) in Texas,” he said.
Kirk said Sununu’s predictions
were premature and cited the vic
tory of Democratic Gov. Gerald Ba
bies of Virginia as an example. Even
though the GOP brought in its heavy
hitters, including Reagan, and spent
large amounts of money, having a
quality candidate and marshalling
resources made the difference, he
said.
Massachusetts Gov. Michael Du
kakis, newly elected chairman of the
Democratic governors, said Sunu
nu’s prediction was less optimistic
than his earlier one that the GOP
would gain as many as 12 governors.
