Such a program. however. requires funding. An effective amnesty program involves paying defectors for the arms they bring in when they surrender. Finally. there is the problem of the refugees. The government. already financially strapped. lacks the resources to care for them. Church groups and international assistance groups should be given greater assistance in providing for the refugees. Since the country is capable of producing food surpluses. it might be doubly helpful to El Salvador if food were purchased for the refugees from Salvadoran farms. El Salvador must be spared the fate of Nicaragua and Cuba. The United States. as leader of the free world. has a unique responsibility in the world to provide leadership and assistance on behalf of personal liberty. free institutions. economics progress. and security.
