It WE HAD PREVIOUSLY TRANSMITTED TEXT OF SECRETARY'S APRIL 8
SPEECH Oil LOS TO TOP GOES OFFICIALS IMMEDIATELY AFTER RECEIPT.

MATTER
N
A
D LEAVE AN AIDE MEMOIREON IT AND A SUMMARY OF OUR
200-MILE LEGISLATION UN FISHERIES,
2, SORGONOVO SAID THAT HE HAD READ THE SECRETARY'S SPEECH
AND THOUGHT IT POSITIVE. HE HASTENED TO ADD THAT HE WAS ONLY
SUPERFICIALLY KNOWLEDGEABLE ON THIS COMPLICATED SUBJECT AND
THAT HIS UNDER SECRETARY CASTANEDA WAS BETTER INFORMED, MORE-
OVER, HE EMPHASIZED, THE FOREMOST SA

WAS DR, GALINDO POW, THE H
E
D
A
ur THE SALVADORAN DELEGATION
TO THE LOS CONFERENCE WHO HAD ALSO BEEN THE AUTHOR OF THE
200-MILE TERRITORIAL 5EA CLAUSE OF EL SALVADOR'S. CONSTI-
TUTION? BORGOiNOVO CLARIFIED THAT, WHILE GALINDO POHL
ALWAYS CLEARED HIS POSITIONS WITH THE FONOFF, GALINDO'S
PRESTIGE IN LOS. MATTERS IS SO HIGH THAT CLEARANCE PROCEDURE
IS MERELY PR,J?`ti`FORMA' SINCE H.E IS ALMOST INVARIABLY SUPPORTED
BY THE GOES, GALINDO REPORTED ONLY ABOUT ONE MONTHLY
TO THE FONOFF ON THE LOS DEVELOPMENTS WHICH WAS INDICATIVE
OF HIS GREAT AUTONOMY, HE HAD NOT YET REPORTED HIS
IMPRESSION OF THE SECRETARY'S SPEECH.
3, WHILE I EXPRESS TO EOPGONOVO
(AND CASTANEDA WHOM
I CALLED ON AFTERWARDS) OUR HOPE THAT THE PASSIVE MODERATES
AT THE LOS CONFERENCE, SUCH AS EL SALVADOR, WOULD TAKE
A MORE ACTIVE ROLE FORTHWITH TO ASSURE GREATER PROGRESS
TONARD COMPROMISE ON A TREATY AT THIS SESSION, I CANNOT
STri=SS TJJ MUCH TO THE DEPARTMENT AND TO OUR LOS DELEGATION
THE IMPORTANRV OF MAINTAINING A CLOSE AND EFFECTIVE RELATION-
SHIP WITH GALINL''O POHL. CAMPBELL
