Mr. President. yesterday. the Washington Post concluded an outstanding series of articles on the crisis in El Salvador. painting a picture of the country whose government cannot protect its citizens from the violence of government security forces. cannot provide basic human needs. and is retreating on social reforms that have been launched only recently. These reports confirm many of the findings of a staff report recently filed with the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Refugee Policy. It found conditions among the half million displaced persons in El Salvador to be as bad as during the worst days of the Vietnam war. It reports that the economy is floundering and there are critical shortages of basic foods and medicines.
