And nearly 500.000 have come to the United States to wait out the storm. If apprehended in this country. Salvadorans usually face detention and deportation. I believe that it is wrong and inhumane at this time to deport these people back into the heat of battle. In response to the current levels of violence and civil unrest in El Salvador. I have introduced legislation which would temporarily suspend the detention and deportation of Salvadorans now in the United States for approximately 2 years. The suspension will allow time for the General Accounting Office to conduct a study concerning the general conditions that face the Salvadoran refugees and the overall conditions in El Salvador. Senator DENNIS DECONCINI has introduced identical legislation in the U.S. Senate.
