When the prices are low. the impact on the economy is severe. It is in our selfinterest that the Mexican economy be spared wild gyrations and that the government be stable. Mexico Is our third largest market. our third largest source of imports. our major foreign supplier of oil. We share a 2.000mile border. That border is porous. Illegal immigrants pour across the rickety boundary fences and unguarded open spaces every night. The potential danger from the activities of drug smugglers and saboteurs is obvious under such conditions. I hope that President Reagan will discuss with President De la Madrid the border problem. drugs. and corruption in high places.
