I thank the gentleman. And I would just also elaborate upon his observations concerning the situation of the refugees. And this is not speculation on our part. as the gentleman has mentioned. Ten percent of the population of El Salvador is presently within the borders of the United States. We have seen what a policy in Nicaragua has done to those people and the conditions in their country presently under a totalitarian Communist regime of Sandinista government. And yet even more so. as the gentleman from Louisiana was pointing out. and as the gentleman from Virginia stated so eloquently. is the place where those 1 to 1/2 percent guerrillas have entered the area. where they have destroyed the powerlines that provide the water purification system which forced the young children to drink polluted water and to cook polluted food and thereby increase disease and death and starvation. Where the guerrillas have done this throughout El Salvador. they have created refugee camps in their own country. And the gentleman from Virginia and I were able to tour some of those refugee areas and there is just simply no way that anyone can see the poverty and the contempt that obviously those Communist guerrillas have for the young people and society that they wreak this havoc on.
