The Mexican Minister for Foreign Affairs ( Torreblanca ) to the American Chargé in Mexico ( Norweb )21

[Translation]
[No.] 2098

Mr. Chargé d’affaires: I refer to that Embassy’s courteous note number 472 of March 29th last, in order to advise you that the competent [Page 779] authorities have informed this Ministry that they would view with great satisfaction the conclusion of the agreement proposed by the American Government,22 relative to radio communication, on behalf of third parties, between amateur stations of Mexico and the United States; but that, it being impossible to do this under the terms of the laws in effect, the authorities in question are considering the manner of broadening the restrictions governing the matter with a view to rendering possible the acceptance of the proposal of that Embassy.

I avail myself [etc.]

F. Torreblanca
