I was able to meet with a number of Salvadorans whose names have become well known to many of us in the 6 years since that country saw civil war break outPresident Jose Napoleon Duarte. Archbishop Damas. and Defense Minister Vides among them. I also met with the somewhat less famousofficials from resettlement and refugee camps. the "Mothers of the Disappeared" and members of the Salvadoran academic community. And finally. I spoke with many people who are rarely consulted during these factfinding visitsthe anonymous and average Salvadorans. members of families trying to put food on their tables who generally keep their political opinions to themselves.
