Speech #980191802

If we allow these impossible conditions to stand and we do not pass the Broomfield/Murtha amendment. there is no doubt in my mind that the Communist guerrillas will be given a major opportunity to take control in El Salvador. When that happens. we will not have any say over human rights there. When that happens. there will be no democracy. When that happens. the hopes of the people of El Salvador will be dashed. When that happens. the flight of refugees to the United States from El Salvador will make everything in the past pale by comparison. When that happens. the flame of freedom in Central America will. indeed. be only a flicker. The choice in this vote is not between those who want to see human rights restored in El Salvador and those who do not.
