Key Facts
President Reagan travels to at resort in Mazatlan, Mexico.
President Reagan and Mexican President Miguel de la Madrid meet and discuss drug trafficking, Soviet influence in Mexico, and trade.
Up early in morning & breakfast on the plane. Flew down to Mazatlan for summit with Pres. de la Madrid. We’re both in our last year in office. He & I met 1st with only note takers & interpreters. They were good meetings on our mutual drug problem, on trade & on the threatened increase of Soviets in Mexico. He’s aware of that threat & refused to allow Soviets to set up consulates along our border.
The plenary meeting was over lunch & again a good cordial exchange of views on ec. issues etc. Then the farewell ceremony and it was off to El Rancho del Cielo. Nancy was already at the ranch. Something happened to the pump in our well—no water in the houses at all. We made do with bottled water for everything.
