Mexican officials look for Bush
to modify ‘keep it tough’ policy
tat
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexicans
expressed hope Wednesday that George
Bush in the White House will modify
President Reagan’s “keep it tough” pol
icies toward Latin America and initiate
more open U.S. relations with the region
and their nation in particular.
Several newspapers said that under
Bush, who has closer ties with and a bet
ter understanding of Mexico than Rea
gan, relations between the two countries
could reach higher levels of mutual re
spect.
And Mexican novelist Carlos Puentes,
a professor of literature at Harvard Uni
versity, said Secretary of State-designate
James Baker understands the need for
cooperation.
In a front-page essay in the leading
Mexico City daily Excelsior, Puentes
said this could make for easier relations
with Carlos Salinas de Gortari, who suc
ceeds Miguel de la Madrid as President
of Mexico on Dec. 1.
El Universal said in an editorial that
propects are gloomy for Latin America
in general because of Bush’s tough stand
on the foreign debt and his past support
for the “dirty” Contra war against Nica
ragua’s leftist Sandinista regime, which
Mexico strongly backs.
But El Universal, which like virtually
all newspapers toe the ruling Institutional
Revolutionary Party’s foreign policy
line, expressed hope that “Bush will
maintain a respectful attitude toward
Mexico, given his understanding of our
problems, and knowing like few others
their exacerbation would not be in his
country’s interest.”
Bush’s daughter-in-law is Mexican,
and he has many influential friends in
this country.
His relations with Mexico date back to
1954 when he co-founded and was a di
rector of Zapata Petroleum Co., an off
shore drilling and service outfit, as direc
tor of the CIA, and chairman of the First <
International Bank of Houston from
1977 to 1979.
An editorial in the government news
paper El Nacional was pointedly enti
tled, “A Respectful Leadership?”, but
there was no immediate reaction from
the Salinas transition team.
De la Madrid sent Bush a note
Wednesday congratulating him on his
victory.
“I’m certain that during your time as
leader of our neighboring country, the
rich relationship between our nations
will be consolidated and reinforced on
the basis of mutual respect and dignity
and to the benefit of the peoples of the
United States and Mexico,” de la Ma
drid said.
The U.S. election was front-page
news throughout Mexico, including the
states of Nuevo Leon and Tabasco,
where voters were going to the polls to
day in local and state elections.
Many newspapers commented promi
nently on the low U.S. voter turnout and
the fact that the Democrats made gains in
Congress, saying they undermined
Bush’s mandate and may make for a
more balanced policy toward Latin
America.
In his Excelsior article, Puentes said
Bush lacks “Reagan’s electronic cha
risma” and his ability “to make cat look
like a rabbit; he lacks the charisma, the
cat, and the rabbit” and, consequently,

Dukakis commends Bus
in speech; plans for future lex
BOSTON (AP) — Defeated Dem
ocratic presidential candidate Mi
chael Dukakis on Wednesday con
gratulated President-elect George
Bush on a decisive victory and said,
“I gave it my best shot.”
At a valedictory campaign news
conference in Boston, Dukakis re
peated his charges that Republican
media manipulators resorted to highly
negative commercials to defeat him
and said the ads took their toll.“(I)
fear this will be a signal now at the
national level that this kind of cam
paigning is effective,” he said.
Dukakis sidestepped a question
about whether he might run again for
the White House, saying he was now
ready to return to his duties as gover
nor of Massachusetts.
“I will be digging into that vigor
ously and fully,” he said.
Dukakis opened his news confer
ence with a statement blending con
gratulations for Bush with a declara
tion that the Democratic Party is truly
alive and well and strong.
He made it clear he intends to re
main active in party affairs, saying he
hoped to make his presence felt as the
party picks a new chairman for the
next four years.
Dukakis said he wasn’t ready to of
fer a detailed analysis of the cam
paign, but noted that he lost several
states by the relatively small margin
of four percentage points or less.
“I wasn’t successful in getting my
message through in the South and
some parts of the West,” he said.
Dukakis quickly noted dial vote ALST1N (AP)

Congressman’s decision to seek
bank committee seat questioned
N
LC
HI
WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Henry
B. Gonzalez’ decision to seek the
chairmanship of the House banking com
mittee could touch off a gut-wrenching
fight in the opening moments of the
101st Congress, observers said Wednes
day.
Gonzalez, ranking member of the
House Banking, Finance and Urban Af
fairs Committee, said Wednesday he
would seek the chairmanship vacated by
Rep. Fernand J. St Germain, a Rhode Is
land Democrat defeated in Tuesday’s
balloting.
But Capitol Hill officials on Wednes
day questioned whether Gonzalez, 72,
will find the support he needs to ascend
into the key position, citing his reputa
tion as a gadfly and the pressing issue of
the savings and loan crisis.
Observers say House Speaker Jim
Wright and Texas congressmen could be
in a risky spot — whether to support the
ambitions of another Texan seeking a
leadership position that could give the
delegation more clout, or whether to
back someone with more experience in
banking.
“It’s going to put a lot of people in a
real spot,” one Democratic congressman
said. “There’s a tremendous amount of
loyalty in the Texas delegation. There
are going to be some real heart-wrench
ing, gut-wrenching decisions that will
have to be made. It’s a problem. It’s a
real problem.”
But another Democrat said he believes
Gonzalez will have the support of
Speaker Wright and the resb6f the dele
gation, along with backing from other
Hispanic and black members.
Gonzalez, a San Antonio Democrat,
has been a member of the banking com
mittee since he came to Congress 27
years ago and has been chairman of the
housing subcommittee since 1981. He is
considered one of the most liberal mem
bers of the Texas delegation, and said
Wednesday he is up to the challenge of
thejob.
Committee chairmanships tradition
ally go to the most senior member of the
majority party, but not always.
“It looks as if everything is heading to
my assuming that chairmanship and I am
prepared,” Gonzalez said. “The single
power of the chairman is to set the
agenda and I’ll have one. I’ll keep it the
busiest it’s ever been. ”
A banking industry official said it is
currently believed Gonzalez will get the
job, but with St Germain gone it’s a
whole new situation and some strong,
aggressive members on that committee
may challenge him.
The next ranking member of the com
mittee, Rep. Frank Annunzio, D-Ill.,
said Wednesday he was very interested
in becoming chairman.
“However, if Mr. Gonzalez is inter
ested in the position, I will not oppose
him,” Annunzio said. “If Mr. Gonzalez
does not obtain the nomination for the
chairmanship, then I will strongly cam
paign for the position. ”
A spokesman for Rep. John LaFalce,
D-N.Y., said the congressman is going
to take a serious look at seeking the
chairmanship.
And Rep. Stephen L. Neal, D-N.C.,
said he was interested in chairmanship.
“But I recognize that there are three
members senior to me on the commit
tee,” he said.
“I have 14 years’ experience with the
important issues facing us and I am fully
prepared should this responsibility come
my way,” Neal said. “I also have a lot
of respect for the seniority system and I
will be in touch with my colleagues and
the house leadership about the
chairmanship.”
Gonzalez is known for freqie
speaking to an empty House atth
elusion of legislative business. In
Gonzalez slugged a man whocallai
a communist. He was also chair*'
the committee that investigated tin
sassinations of President Kennedy
Martin Luther King.
Rep. Steve Bartlett, a Dallas Repi
can and member of the banking coitt
tee, said although he and Gonzalezl
had numerous philosophical differed
he finds the Democrat has always It
fair, honest, works hard and listens.
Accused man awaits tests
that may prove innocent
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) —
An American teen-ager accused of kill
ing a Juarez policeman expressed sur
prise when he learned favorable results
of police tests haven’t made it to court.
