<html> Mexico Leader Cancels Trip To Texas <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-1947820,00.html" eudora="autourl">http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-1947820,00.html</a> Thursday August 15, 2002 4:20 AM MEXICO CITY (AP) - President Vicente Fox canceled a trip to Texas and a meeting with President Bush to protest the state's execution Wednesday of convicted cop killer Javier Suarez Medina. Fox had announced an Aug. 26-28 visit to four Texas cities and to Bush's ranch. But at a hastily organized press conference Wednesday night, presidential spokesman Rodolfo Elizondo said Fox wouldn't make the trip because Texas executed Suarez, who Fox says is a Mexican national. ``This decision is an unequivocal signal of rejection of the execution,'' Elizondo said. ``It would be inappropriate, in these lamentable circumstances, to go ahead with the visit to Texas.'' A senior administration official said he did not believe the decision would ``dent'' U.S.-Mexican relations, adding that there was no set agenda for the meeting. Earlier, a White House official had said earlier that Fox and Bush spoke by telephone Tuesday night, but did not speak Wednesday. The official would not disclose what the two leaders discussed. continued </html>
