Economic aid to El Salvador is a vital aspect of U.S. policy in that regon. What are they going to do now. only have military aid down there? Finally. let us look at possible reductions for refugee aid. We could cut these programs. which total about onehalf billion dollars. However. cuts here will compound human misery and reduce a major source of the moral legitimacy which the United States gains in the eyes of the world. especially when contrasted with the Communist countries. We do not create these humanitarian emergencies. If emergencies exist and people become refugees. the United States. along with all other developed nations on Earth. is going to have to help alleviate their misery. How would we look in the eyes of the world if we have a crisis on our hands. an emergency. and do not have the funds? The President of the United States is just simply saying. the United States does not have the funds?
