Mr. Speaker. having just returned from a factfinding mission in El Salvador. Nicaragua. Costa Rica. and Guatemala. I am convinced that the President is correct in his grave assessment of the situation in Central America. If we do not act now to prevent the spread of Marxism. we can indeed expect Central America to degenerate into a string of antiAmerican Marxist dictatorships. We can also anticipate a flood of refugees desperate to escape from tyranny. The people of Central America are hungry for peace and freedom. In Nicaragua. those who can afford shortwave radios listen to the Voice of America.
