Kissinger pace toward Mexican talks splits opinion
In a cautious note, Les Whitten warned that Henry Kissinger may differ from Mexican authorities on narcotics and policy priorities. Kissinger expressed pleasure at a positive appraisal of discussions with President Echeverria and instructed an aide to continue planning parallel commissions. The piece notes a Labor Department stance enabling low-wage Jamaican harvest workers for 1975 crops. Byrd and others conducted recruitment, diverting wages from Americans and triggering unemployment and food stamp pressures in Florida.
