[Excerpts] Buenos Aires, 14 Oct (NOTIMEX) -- A Chilean National Central Information
commando kidnapped a Mexican citizen in Santiago this morning, said her family
members. Flavia Totoro Taulis, 21 years old, was violently taken from her home at 5:30
(local time) [1130 GMT -- time as received] by Central Intelligence members of the
Augusto Pinochet regime. [passage omitted]
The Mexican Embassy accredited in Chile has begun efforts in Buenos Aires demanding
that the Chilean Government release Totoro Taulis. Mexico and Chile suspended
diplomatic relations after Salvador Allende was overthrown in 1973. The Mexican
Embassy sent a telex to the Mexican foreign secretary and, according to initial
reports, Mexico will present an official request and diplomatic protest to Santiago de
Chile through diplomatic representation in Venezuela. [passage omitted]

[Text]? At the end of the regional meeting of attorneys general in Puerto Vallarta
today, the creation of a regional planning cooperation committee was proposed to combat
drug trafficking. One of the 10 points agreed upon at the meeting was the creation of
a common front of solidarity through the exchange of experiences. The document was
signed by representatives from 13 governments, including the United States.
During the 2 days of talks, delegates made a broad analysis of drug trafficking and
drug addiction. They agreed to create a multinational organization to confront the
mafia and drug traffickers. The delegates reiterated their political willingness to
continue the struggle against crimes that endanger the health of people as well as to
prevent and correct the phenomenon of drug addiction.
Among the 10 resolutions adopted at the regional meeting of attorneys general, the
advantage of using resources confiscated from drug traffickers to support national and
international campaigns against drug trafficking was discussed. Regarding the joint
efforts to defeat this problem, the countries agreed -- in accordance with the laws of
each country -- to create a regional planning and cooperation committee to combat the
drug problem. This last point will be implemented within a short time at their next
meeting. In addition to the agreements signed this afternoon, U.S. Attorney General
Edwin Meese proposed that awards be given to Mexican President de la Madrid and
Attorney General Sergio Garcia Ramirez for their initiative in the struggle against
drug trafficking and drug addiction.

[Text] The Mexican Government tonight reaffirmed its commitment to seek stability in
the oil market as long as OPEC continues to abide faithfully by its prices
[ofrecimientos]. It was said that Mexico will continue limiting its exports of crude
oil to 1.35 million barrels a day. It is worth noting that our country's self-imposed
curbs on exports seek to contribute to the stability of the international oil market.
