Your stand
I'd Senator Mark Ilatfield
I am extremelv i oikerned
alioul tlir recent events in Kl
Salvador, and till' reaction to
these events In the government
ol this country Though the sit
nation in Kl Salvador has been
deteriorating for a decade, the
recent atrix ities by the right
wing government bog for an ap
propriate response from the
U S government
We continually preach hu
man rights to the world Is this
just rhetoric for internal con
sumption? Our influence over
the government of Kl Salvador
provides an opportunity to re
inforce our words with positive
long-term action
What has been your stand on
this crucial issue? On Nov It),
the U S Congress had the op
portunity to restrict aid to the
government ot Kl Salvador I he
murder of the )esuit priests and
their servants by uniformed
men in a government con
trolled area prompted this con
gressional action.
Did you support this effort?
Please explain your position
As my representative to the
Senate. I call on you to demand
an immediate cease-fire with
United Nations supervision
This country must press for a
political end to this war and
the domestic misery which
bore the conflict I ask you to
call for a high-level investiga
tion into the murder of the
priests and their servants
Most importantly. 1 urge you
as my representative to work
for .in immediate cessation ol
military aid to the government
ol Kl Salvador Sue h aid is oh
scene and flies in the face of ev
erything for which this country
stands
I thank you in advance lor
i larifying your position on
these issues I look forward to
hearing from your office
