 \nTHE  \nPREDICTION  \nOF SENATOR  \nTSONGAS  \n# HANSON’S LATIN AMERICAN LETTER\n\nWASHINGTON  \n14 April 1979  \nNumber 1778  \n\"Asked whether the United Statesshould invade Mexico for its oil,Senator Tsongas said that unlessdrastic energy-conservation measuresare made law,\"not only will talklike that be heard,but also it wil1become a MAJORITY view,\"  \n...Associated Press,  \nAs the United States moves into a crisis of historic and perhaps unpre-cedented proportions,the irresponsibility of the Congress coupled withthe incompetence of the Executive Branch demands maximum vigilance byLatin American Foreign Ministers and an exercise of leadership by them。The case of Mexican-American relations is pertinent in this respect.Looknow at some recent aspects of policy thinking:  \n(1)Speaking at the Harvard Business School,Senator Tsongas,the juniorsenator from Massachusetts,striving to make himself heard above thepublicity machine of the senior senator(Kennedy),predicted that a major-ity of the American people wil1 support invasion of Mexico to seize itspetroleum unless effective conservation measures are adopted.(Sinceadequate and effective reduction in demand is not seriously expected byanyone,this is virtually a forecast of an invasion of Mexico).  \n(The thinking of Prince Faisal(Saudi Arabia)that the United States willdouble its energy consumption in ten to fifteen years and depend on an even larger pro-portion from foreign sources in the obvious absence of any serious plan to cease beingthe most wasteful energy consumer in the world comes closer to expectations here thanthe rhetoric of the Administration does.)  \nSenator Tsongas fears that \"energy greed will encourage the United States\"simply to annex the oil supplies that it cannot afford to buy.\"  \nNo one,but no one,could possibly have dreamed that in the late twentiethcentury,a Senator of the United States would broadcast his view that.military action toseize oil of Mexico is thinkable,even foreseeable.  \nWe doubt that any serious bloc of voters would support such an action.But even to voice such a view reflects an irresponsibility that is dangerous as thegreat crisis unfolds.  \nWould such action be preceded by a propaganda wave enforcing the recentcriticisms of Mexican human rights policy?  \n(2)A staff committee of the House Appropriations Committee,stung by theHOUSErefusal of the Mexican Government \"to permit entry of the staff intoAPPROPRIATIONSMexico for discussion and visitation of projects financed by the Wor1d  \nCOMMITTEEBank and Inter-American Bank,\"retaliates by issuance of a report blastingSTAFF BLASTSMexico for its misuse of funds borrowed from these institutions.MEXICO  \nNote wel1:The Committee was balked in its investigation by its inabi-lity to get adequate information from the Executive Branch of the United  \nStates,specifically the Treasury.There was no reason to conduct investigations in aforeign country excent that the Treasury had failed to cooperate with the Committee.So,it proposed to go outside channels that are appropriate,and not having been allowed to  \nthrow its weight around effectively in Mexico,it hits out at the Mexican Government.The point is that Mexico is a sovereign nation,the banks are not part of the U.S.banking system.More importantly,  \nThe appropriation process of the United States Government provides ade-quate arrangements for information gathering by committees on pain of holding off appro-val of budgetary expenditures.That is to say,the quarrel of a staff is properly withthe Treasury and shou1d have been implemented by action within the U.S.Government.  Solimited,apparent1y,is the intelligence of the present inflated staffs of the variouscongressional committees that they think their authority extends to sovereign nationsabroad as well.  \nWhen they pick Mexico for exercise of such ignorance,they pick the wrongcountry,as the Treasury should have told them.  \nThus,with a crisis approa","cbCaifkl8npTifSC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifkl8npTifSC","pdf",1204705,"English","# Hanson’s Latin American Letter\n## Senator Tsongas and the oil annexation/invasion question\n## House Appropriations Committee report and Mexico investigations\n## Support for the Somoza regime and implications for Mexico\n## Deportation demands regarding illegal Mexican aliens in New York\n## Agricultural and trade challenges to U.S.-Mexican relations","[{\"question\":\"What does Senator Tsongas predict about U.S. public support regarding Mexico’s oil?\",\"answer\":\"He predicts a majority of Americans would support invasion to seize Mexico’s petroleum unless effective energy-conservation measures are adopted.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the letter criticize the House Appropriations Committee staff’s actions toward Mexico?\",\"answer\":\"It argues the committee was blocked from obtaining information and, instead of addressing issues within the U.S. system (notably the Treasury), it retaliated by issuing a report blaming Mexico.\"},{\"question\":\"What other U.S. political positions does the letter link to Mexico and Central America concerns?\",\"answer\":\"It notes calls to support the Somoza regime and demands for mass deportation of illegal Mexican aliens, framing these as pressures that could affect broader U.S. policy.\"}]","HANSON’S LATIN AMERICAN LETTER - Number 1778 - 14 April 1979 | PDF",1789970889,13]
