El Paso "lawyer Tad Smith,
head of the Goldwater-for-Pi ev-
ident campaign in Texas, said
Johnson's trip was billed as
non-political, but that Ihe Pres-
ident "stopped his motorcade
every few blocks to politick at
die curb.”
Because at this, Smith said.
Johnson was late arriving at
his meeting with Mexican Pres-
ident Lopez Mateos and left
him "cooling his heels at tlie
international bridge for 25 min-
utes...”
"We seem to continue to in-
sult our friends anti accommo-
date our enemies,” Smith said.
*'It ts apparent that, although j
the trip was billed a* non-
political, Johnson put personal
politics ahead of dijdomatx
courtesy.’*
