Speaker. in the past several weeks a bipartisan group of 30 interns has organized. drawn up a petition. and as of this morning. secured hundreds of signatures in support of a statement that calls for an abandonment of the regressive. frightening policies currently employed by the President in Central America. They propose in lieu of these policies a more sane. more equitable. more humane. progressive approach to this troubled wartorn region. The proposals include a call to end U.S. covert destabilization efforts against Nicaragua. grant extended voluntary departure status to Central American refugees. make human rights a priority in the formation of policy toward all of the nations of the region. and to support the proposals of the Contadora group. I think all of these suggestions are vitally important for the expeditious resolution of the current turmoil. We should give aid to governments which assist their people with education. which provide them with sufficient food. and which respect human rights.
