Pemex Chief Executive Officer Jesus Reyes Heroles said Monday that he’s hopeful Mexican lawmakers will adopt rule changes that would encourage investment in the company and promote its growth.
“Opinion in the Congress has been changing in the past few years,” Reyes Heroles said Monday in an interview with Mexico City-based Radio Formula. “I’m very hopeful.”

Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
