1. Polcouns delivered the demarche on the Mexican
Declaration in the OAS on U.S. Border Security (Ref A) to
Amb. Eduardo Rosales, the Foreign Ministry's Director General
of Foreign Policy on 10/24. Rosales was not/not familiar
with the Mexican proposal, as the Foreign Ministry's phone
and fax lines are down and it has not/not been able to
receive communications with its OAS Mission. Rosales was
sympathetic to the substance of our demarche, but noted that
he would have to study the Mexican draft before making
recommendations to his superiors. He requested that we
provide a copy. We are coordinating with USOAS to obtain the
text of the Mexican proposal and will forward it to Rosales
upon receipt.
2. COMMENT: Honduras is likely to be sympathetic to
Mexico's opposition to recent U.S. legislation on border
security, as it joined with other Central American
Integration System (SICA) countries in signing on to a
declaration criticizing this legislation that was proposed by
Mexican president-elect Calderon at the 10/3 SICA Security
Summit (Ref B). END COMMENT.
