Historical Note Luis Echeverria Alvarez (1922-) was president of Mexico from 1970–1976. As a member
of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary party, he held numerous party and government
posts beginning in the 1940s. As secretary of the interior (1964–69), he gained prominence
for his stern handling of student demonstrations during the 1968 Olympic games in
Mexico City, but much later (2003) he was implicated in a cover-up of the government’s
responsibility for the massacre of demonstrators in Oct., 1968. Although he faced
no strong challenge in the presidential election, he campaigned strenuously. As president,
he introduced agricultural technical assistance programs, promoted public works, and
furthered Mexican control of industries by placing limits on foreign investment. In
Dec., 1976, Echeverría Álvarez was succeeded as president by José López Portillo."
