The opportunity to show to the world that we are cognizant of the suffering caused by the civil war in El Salvadorwhich I believe has as its root cause the intervention of other outside countries and sources as I mentioned beforeshould be appealing enough for even the State Department. Therefore. I urge that we pass this resolution. I firmly believe. because of the experience that I have had in Arizona. Senators from other States like mine. particularly border States. will find a number of Salvadoran refugees who are. indeed. fearful for their lives. Who knows how many would actually be killed. I think it is much better to err on the side of humanitarian assistance in this case rather than to send individuals back to an uncertainty and possible death.
