    Guillermo Galvan Galvan, Secretary of Defense (SEDENA)
    --------------------------------------------- ---------

    ¶2. (SBU)  General Guillermo Galvan Galvan is a former head of
    the presidential guard (Estado Mayor Presidencial) and has
    been Deputy Secretary of Defense since March 2004.  He was
    the commander of the First Corps of the National Army,
    military attachQ at the Mexican Embassy to Spain, and
    Director of the Army College.  Born in 1953, he holds a
    Master's in National Security and Defense from the College of
    National Defense and a Bachelor's in Military Administration
    from the Mexican War College.  General Galvan's appointment
    appears to signal Calderon's wish to preserve continuity in
    the army.  He is considered well-disposed towards the U.S.
    and speaks English fluently.

    Mariano Francisco Saynez Mendoza, Secretary of Navy (SEMAR)
    --------------------------------------------- --------------

    ¶3. (SBU) Admiral Mariano Francisco Saynez Mendoza has served
    in the Mexican navy for 47 years, having held numerous
    command positions, including Commander of both the Navy's
    Pacific and Gulf forces.  He was also commanding director of
    the Center of Superior Naval Studies (CESNAV), served as
    Mexico's Naval Attache to both the U.S. and U.K., and was the
    Director of Security and Social Services of the Federal
    Forces Institute.  Born in 1942, he holds a degree in
    geographic engineering and did advanced studies in national
    security at CESNAV.  Admiral Saynez, who had a troubled
    relationship with the previous Secretary of the Navy, was a
    surprise choice and emerged as Calderon's selection after the
    press alleged that the front-runner's wife had family
    connections to narco-traffickers.  Admiral Saynez is
    considered well-disposed towards the U.S. and speaks English
    fluently.

    Eduardo Medina Mora Icaza:  Attorney General (PGR)
    --------------------------------------------- ----

    ¶4.  (U) Head of Public Safety (SSP) in the outgoing Fox
    cabinet, Calderon named Eduardo Medina Mora Attorney General
    of the Republic (PGR), Mexico's top law enforcement job.  His
    primary challenge will be combating narco-trafficking and
    organized crime.  Medina Mora is the only minister whose
    appointment has to be confirmed by the Senate; he was
    confirmed and sworn-in on Thursday, December 7.

    ¶5. (U) Prior to serving as Secretary of Public Safety, Medina
    Mora was director of Mexico's intelligence agency CISEN
    (Centro de Investigacion y Seguridad Nacional) from December

    Council.  As Secretary of Public Safety, Medina Mora was
    MexicoQ,s lead on the Technical Secretariat of the Alliance

    graduated from UNAM with a law degree and is a member of the
    Mexican College of Attorneys, as well as the American Bar
    Association.

    ¶7.  (SBU) Comment:  Medina Mora is well- and favorably known
    to the law enforcement agencies represented at post, as well
    as to many Washington actors, from his terms during the Fox
    Administration at SSP and CISEN.  He is fluent -- if hesitant
    -- in English and has an easy manner in business settings.
    End Comment.

    Genaro Garcia Luna:  Secretary of Public Safety (SSP)
    --------------------------------------------- -------

    ¶8.  (U) Calderon replaced Medina Mora as Secretary of Public
    Security with a law enforcement and security service
    official, Genaro Garcia Luna, who was Director of the Agency
    for Federal Investigations (AFI) from its creation in 2001.
    Garcia Luna was named Director General for Planning and
    Operations of the Federal Judicial Police (PJF) in December
    ¶2000.  He helped devise a reorganization plan to transform
    the PJF force (highly tainted by corruption) into AFI
    (Agencia Federal de Investigaciones, a hybrid combination of
    FBI and DEA functions under one roof), a professional,
    investigative police force that operates under the Attorney
    General's office -- the name change became official in
    November 2001.  Before AFI, from 1998-2000 Garcia Luna served
    as General Coordinator of Intelligence for Crime Prevention
    in the Federal Preventive Police (PFP), a component of the
    Public Safety Secretariat.  He also served as Technical
    Secretary on the Prevention of Arms, Explosives, and

    SIPDIS
    Munitions Trafficking Subcommittee to the Mexico-U.S. High
    Level Contact Group.  From 1989-1998 he worked for the
    Mexico's intelligence agency (CISEN) where he served as
    Coordinator for the Terrorism Investigation Unit.  In 1989,
    he was promoted at CISEN to Deputy Director of Protection;
    Head of the Department of Technical Investigations, Office of
    Technical Services; and Investigator for the Office of
    Foreign Affairs.

    ¶9. (U) Born on July 10, 1968 in Mexico City, Garcia Luna is a
    graduate of the Autonomous Metropolitan University, where he
    earned a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and a
    Master's degree in Business Administration from the Instituto
    de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey.

    ¶10. (C) Comment:  Garcia Luna has been a trusted liaison,
    partner and friend of the FBI since his days at the PFP.  He
    is a "big picture guy" and strategist, approaching issues and
    problems like the engineer that he is.  His personal
    reputation is very good, however that of some of his
    underlings has not been as favorable.  Embassy interlocutors
    describe Garcia Luna's personality as intense.  His Spanish
    is often mumbled and spoken at a staccato rate and hard to
    understand even for native speakers; his English capabilities
    are negligible.  His attitude toward the U.S. is friendly.

    ¶11. (C)  Comment continued: Garcia Luna and Medina Mora are
    close personally and politically.  Having both of them at the
    top of the civilian security structure should help maintain
    the excellent cooperation that the USG law enforcement
    agencies enjoyed with the Fox administration.  Both men have
    been strong advocates of the need for significant
    restructuring of the federal police structure; Garcia Luna
    even wrote a book about it.  End Comment.
