President. I commend the Senator from Massachusetts and the Senator from Connecticut for raising these points. The Guatemalan refugees. in Mexico have come to escape brutalization. most of them to save their lives and the lives of their families. The fact that we have not been more positive in searching out the reasons for Guatemalan terrorism of its own people. indeed. is a blot on our efforts to help stabilize and bring progress to the Western Hemisphere. I viewed the Guatemalan refugee camps in Mexico from the air. At that time they were not allowing Americans to enter the camp. The situation is one that demands more attention and cooperation from us and our Mexican counterparts. who are doing an outstanding job in providing a haven for Guatemalan people who are persecuted in their own country.
