Abstract
Description
[Stanley D.] Embick and [Alfred W.] Johnson left Sunday; [Tomás] Sanchez Hernandez went with them but doubts he will stay; believes [Luis] Alamillo will replace him on Joint Commission in addition to serving as Military Attaché; understands Sanchez Hernandez to be attached to Defense Office; will be helpful to have man like him close to Gen. [Lazaro] Cárdenas; can give no information on Alamillo; no agreements or decisions were made while mission was in Mexico; Embick and Johnson will no doubt report on the meeting to Department; dinner given Friday evening went well; guests included President Avila Camacho, Cárdenas,and several other Cabinet members as well as a few generals and Navy people; they had opportunity for intimate talk with Embick and Johnson; the usually taciturn Cárdenas was quite agreeable and talkative; Embick and Johnson made good impression.
