would -imp .icate high. Mexican officials in joint intelligence
operations against foreign embassies in Mexico      City.   The

Mexican officials reluctant to engage in joint intelligence
activities. The Department also shares the concern that disclosure
would lead to a curtailment or complete shut off of information
from several on going sources. (S)

relations with   Mexico and   it could. al o have unfortunate
repercussions for US relations with Russia,  Peci-ally during this
