     The Honorable Max S. Baucus

     United States Senate

     Dear Senator Baucus:

          Subject: United States Government Agencies' Relations
                    With Canada and Mexic/  (ID-79-57)

          Your letter of June 18, 1979, requested that we report
     on how U.S. Government agencies are organized to deal with
     Canada and Mexico.

          We developed a questionnaire in consultation with your
     staff to solicit information from Federal agencies on the
     nature and extent of their interests in and cooperation with
     Canada and Mexico, and the way these interests are coordi-
     nated. In early August we sent questionnaires to 71 Federal
     agencies and offices (see enc. I) that have some contact
     with either Canada or Mexico. Although we received 68 res-
     ponses from agencies and offices who deal with either Canada
     or Mexico, we found that 31 have fiequent contact %ith the
     Federal Governments of both countries. Therefore, our
     analyses were based on information furnished by those 31
     respondents. In addition to the questionnaire, we made
     contact with some respondents for clarification or elabora-
     tion of information provided.

          The nature of the respondents' primary interests in
     either Canada or Mexico is briefly described in enclosure II.
     Also, the respondents' research programs are described in
     enclosure III.

     QUESTIONNAIRE RESULTS

          Responses to our questionnaire showed that:

  Nk      --The majority of the respondents that reported frequent
            staff involvement on matters relating to both Canada
            and Mexico stated that the staff members involved are
            located in several organizational units.
