Because of our involvement and because of our support we are greatly encouraged by the progress that is being made in El Salvador. It is good to see that the people have expressed themselves freely at the ballot box by electing President Duarte. who appears to be making good strides in curbing the death squads and bringing about some reforms to help the plight of his people. Frankly. one of the great concerns of the people in Florida and other gulf coast States is a further flood of refugees into the United States. If people can live in peace and freedom with hope for the future in their own country. they will not seek to escape to another nation. If we can help to democratize the countries to the south. then we can better maintain Jobs here for our own people. and also avoid costly programs in helping refugees to settle here. The Contras can keep the pressure on Nicaragua. and slow or stop the spread of Sandinistalike regimes to other countries. The Contras can keep the pressure on the Sandinistas to change their way of lifeto quit being oppressive to the people and the churchto allow freedom of expression and freedom of the press.
